Dear MRFF,

I do not believe that not one of the dozen or so Marines posing next to a Nazi SS flag did not know what it was. Are Americans so ignorant? Is the US army so pathetic that it takes the dregs of US society into its ranks? If so, even that is an offense.

The actions of those Marines make all Americans less safe. Already, Americans have earned a terrible reputation internationally for being un-democratic, prejudiced, hateful, ignorant and excessively violent. Even traditional US allies are disgusted by Americans. This action only promotes that view. If those Marines were truly ignorant, then they must be given sensitivity training in the most public of ways. If they are found to be among the racist and anti-Semitic segment of the US population then they should be made to quit the US army and be court-martialed, if not tried civilly for publicly promoting hate and defaming the United States.

There must be a punishment for associating the US flag with that of the Nazi SS. This outrage cannot be ignored.

May America re-discover democracy and promote democratic values internationally. I suppose it can ask present-day Germans for help.

Thank you,
