This continues to break my brain. So many are shockingly okay with it or his reasons for still having it.
America has a deep cultural brainworm about how serving your country is inherently honorable regardless of what your country is actually doing (because such a belief benefits the bourgeois and makes it easier to rehabilitate the Wehrmacht)
:this:
The Scout Snipers using these SS symbols and other nazi shit are (with the most charitable interpretation) praising the military prowess of a failed fascist state that famously lost a huge war. This is their 'look how badass we are' symbolism.
IMO part of it is the people who would speak out about this are cowed into silence due to how hard right-wingers (both parties) go after people who disagree with them. There's so many people who will try to have you fired or worse for sharing a lukewarm take on Charlie Kirk (rest in piss), they send death threats in the 100s to even the most long-shot Democrats in rural districts, etc. Stochastic terrorism is real and the right uses it every day. More people need to speak up about this because it must be overcome to gain any ground in burgerland.
Or as this user shows, simply too dumb to know or happy to lie about it
