Re: Off Beat: U.S. Navy to Mask Swastika-Shaped Barracks

Thanks for the good laugh.

Though on a more serious note.  Those jerk off nazis really screwed
that one up.  That is a very powerful religious symbol, that the
Nazi's ended up perverting and ruining the general populations
perception of what that symbol means.

Now people see it and what is the first thing that you think of?  WW2
- Hitler - Nazi's - Death...  What a shame.
