It's cause of the tattoos. Too many Nazis being excluded from the military.

Too late it did what it was meant to do. It told all the Nazis in the USA: "We don't think Nazis are bad, come join us".

Thank goodness. Please don't let the world flip inside-out.

but now MAGA can't enlist...

I once didn't shave for weeks on a no-shave November. When I finally shaved I decided to see how I would look like with a toothbrush mustache... and I found that it suited me great! (At least I think it did) but I knew i couldn't have it and I shaved it off.

I wish we could DeNazify that mustache and make it the simple and sometimes whimsical mustache it was in the past.

Military service will reportedly no longer classify 'divisive' swastika as 'hate' symbol

Trump administration insiders are furious over reporting that the U.S. Coast Guard, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, will no longer classify the swastika as a symbol of "hate."

According to the Washington Post, the branch of military service has decided that swastikas and nooses are considered "potentially divisive" but not hateful.

As the news outlet reports, "The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 U.S. troops who died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month."

The report continues:

"Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as 'potentially divisive' under its new guidelines. The new policy, set to take effect Dec. 15, similarly downgrades the definition of nooses and the Confederate flag, though display of the latter remains banned, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post."

The Post also reports, "Certain historic displays or artwork where the Confederate flag is a minor element are still permissible, according to the policy."

"Though the Coast Guard is not part of the Defense Department, the service has been reworking its policies to align with the Trump administration’s changing tolerances for hazing and harassment within the U.S. military," the report states. "In September Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed a review and overhaul of those policies, calling the military’s existing standards 'overly broad' and saying they jeopardize U.S. troops’ combat readiness."

Trump Homeland Security official Tricia McLaughlin rejected the claims made without being specific.

"This is an absolute ludicrous lie and unequivocally false. The @washingtonpost should be embarrassed it published this fake crap," she wrote. Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., shared her post.

As my high school English teacher once said, "a horse is hung, a person is hanged"

I thought it was all so videogame industries could have material to use.

That's why we are in need of WW3, so the next call of duty is not a flop like black ops 7

Probably money, like every other war

I studied history and have been telling people this for over a decade but most people think I'm batshit crazy.

I hate this so much that politics@lemmy.world, you know the explicitly not-only-US instance, specifically only allows US politics.

LGBTQ and trans flags

NOTHING AT ALL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE EITHER CONTENT WITH THIS OR TOO COWARDLY TO DO ANYTHING!

I'm afraid this is the timeline where they dump all the assholes from other timelines
