How are a bunch of young guys supposed to know that flag had anything to do with Nazis? People need to get their panties out of a wad about symbols - they mean different things to different people. Grow a spine America.
My son is one of those "young guys" in the Marines in Afghanistan. Well not one of the idiots that posed with the flag, but he's a young guy in the Marines. He knows exactly what that flag means.
Don't make excuses for a bunch of idiots - people can make jokes about youth, about education in this country, but you can damn well bet that at least one of those Marines was intelligent and educated enough to recognize what that flag represented.
I've seen those flags being sold at gunshows and a few other places, and they are never just by themselves and are never represented as "Scout Sniper" or anything like that. They are usually surrounded by other Nazi regalia and white supremacist crap.
And usually they are being sold by the about the worst examples of the white race you can find. I've never understood that. Some of the people I've seen selling this crap would have been put to death under Hitler's rule for being mentally retarded.

No excuses. It is idiotic for people to be upset over symbols. Thought Police suck.
