Marines Sport Nazi SS Flag in Afghanistan

[KansDem]

5. So what does the "SS" mean to these Marines?

"Scout Snipers?"



Sure it wasn't "Schutzstaffel?"

This image shows (or resembles) a symbol that was used by the National Socialist (NSDAP/Nazi) government of Germany or an organization closely associated to it, or another party which has been banned by the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany.

The use of insignia of organizations that have been banned in Germany (like the Nazi swastika or the arrow cross) are also illegal in Austria, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, France, Brazil, Russia and other countries, depending on context.
