re: #1 jaunte

I don’t believe for a second that those guys had no idea what the runes meant, given popular culture, movies, comic books, games, the Hitler History Channel, etc. etc. etc.

Someone posted a link to the Marine Corps Times in one of these pages earlier in the week. Judging by the reader comments on their stories concerning this, it’s not that they didn’t know what the “SS” was (an argument that I thought was stupid from the beginning). It’s more that they just don’t give a shit what it was used for. They’re more of the mindset of “screw what the rest of the world might think, we’re not really Nazis so it doesn’t matter.”
