“It seems entirely feasible to me that most of these young men were unaware of the evil which is associated with the letters SS”
Entirely feasible? These men are not Nazi’s. There is ZERO chance that they are associated with anything Nazi.
I wrote that it seems entirely feasible to me that the young men were unaware of the evil with which THOSE LETTERS are associated when depicted using that style/font.
I never, not once, not EVER, even IMPLIED that any of those young Marines are Nazis.
