      Good. Like Lt. Aldo Raine said: “You see, we like our Nazis in uniform. That way we can spot 'em just like that.”

        While I understand the sentiment, I also like it when they’re scared rather than emboldened

      context: I’m a German.

      Is this some American nazi code? In Germany this is just the word for weapon.

      I’m seriously curious.

            Looking at what the US military has done over the years, a significant proportion of people in command must be nazis in everything but name and uniform. And plenty of war criminals on the ground willing to follow illegal orders too.

            Some of them aren’t even hiding it. Remember how this year a US Marine trying to get into politics had a literal Totenkopf tattoo on his chest?

            You were the one immune to the propaganda and indoctrination for sure. My family is full of veterans of all branches of the military. Dad, brother, uncles, first cousins, and extended family I see at reunions every year. Full of racist maga fucks. But your experience is the correct one for sure. You definitely know how to tell when a white person has a confederate flag in their garage when they’re in uniform a thousand miles away from home.

              The US Military has 1.33 million people in Active Duty. You are a fool if you think even a few percent of them are full on and showing their racism.

                Your COs may not be openly fascist or racist, but every single one of your COs would drink at the nazi bar and keep their mouth shut if it that’s what they had to do to get their next ribbon.
