Several "concerned local veterans" have reportedly pointed out that Rep. Julia Brownley (D-CA) of the 26th congressional district sent a political mailer to her constituents in July that featured a stock photo of a "veteran" wearing a hat bearing a German Lutwaffe insignia, according to the Daily Caller.
"The photograph is likely a purchased stock photo of a model in a costume contrived from various emblems to look like an official naval uniform. However it is clearly not an American Navy uniform, or that of any U.S. military branch," said Brownley's opponent, Republican Assemblyman Jeff Gorell (R-Camarillo) in a press release on Monday.

That’s not a Luftwaffe insignia. The Luftwaffe insignia was an eagle in a kind of diving mode clutching a swastika in it’s talons.

Could’ve been worse, they could have been “bush pilot” wings.

Yep, it is. The German Air Force is still called the Luftwaffe.

I don’t think they mean THE Luftwaffe, from WWII. In German, they still call their air force the “luftwaffe”, because that is just the word for air force in German.
To: Steely Tom
Different standards. You might also note that a parody of Palin's view of Russia is what lives on.
To: Opinionated Blowhard
Not fools so much as PARASITES that only look to the Military and Vets for a photo-op. Of course these asshats wouldn’t know an American uniform from a Nazi uniform. They “feel” like we aren’t any different from the Nazis.
Bring back the bumper sticker that said: “Beautify America - Beat Up A Hippie”.

How has Frau Brownley “reached across the aisle” ? She’s got a Communist/Totalitarian vote of 92% left (voting right on only two defense measures according to the ACU). When she hits 50%+, then she can claim she “reaches.”

Nice going moron! Jeez, are you going to show a basketball team if you talk about baseball?

Couldve been worse, they could have been bush pilot wings. It's pretty obvious Brownley's seen a lot of bushes up close and personal. She knows how to navigate in that terrain.
