It is nothing but paganism, which is a rejection of the true God. a belief system just as protected by the First Amendment as Christianity.

We're talking about veterans who, by their deeds, have earned the right to be buried at Arlington. To deny them their chosen symbol is wrong on many levels.

Agreed. One of the freedoms God gave us was the right to choose how to worship Him. We can deal with Him later if we made the wrong choice there.

Exactly. Love of Country is what is important here.

You called that one right. If they want to worship the swastika, its ok with me. They did their duty for the nation and want a symbol on their headstone. Thats not much to ask.

p.s. the swastika was around long before the Nazis. (Comment added for those who have no historical reference beyond the media.)

I’m a Christian and I actually agree with you.
If this was important to them and this was their religion (as much as I disagree with their beliefs), then I’m of the opinion they should have whatever religious symbol they want on their headstones.
Their beliefs (or lack of) are between them and God.
