It has always had anti-American connotations. That's a fact.

Calling something "a fact" doesn't make it so. There are millions of perfectly good kids walking around America wearing peace symbols. I assure you they are not choosing to wear "anti-American" symbols. They like "peace", they like to be "retro" and they think it's a cool looking symbol. That's all there is to it.

No different than a Che Guevara shirt.

I have a friend who has a teenage daughter who wears the anarchist symbol a lot. She isn’t but its apparently stylish but in a few years it won’t be and she’ll wear something else.

Saqin, don't be so disengenous. There are dozens of kids walking around with those symbols and each and every one of them have parents who should be publicly horsewhipped, tarred, feathered and tossed into the Mahdi's well in Iran.

The children should then politely change their clothing and apologize to each and every Vietnam Vet personally.

Anyway, that's what ought to happen first.
