The Military Religious Freedom Foundation in Washington was outraged and called for an investigation of the incident.

I'm sure these guys were fighting to keep a straight face before that photo. There's an inside joke, we just don't know what it is.

who ever authorized this design for a flag should be questioned,

then again the swastika in a different position is a religious symbol.

The German SS was the most feared military special unit among the allies in WWII, that's a straight fact. I suspect by the looks of the photo that these guys were just making a statement that they are a lot more brutal. especially by pinning the American flag above the SS flag. They operate like SS out there in the sand with the Taliban so it's pretty accurate.

Let ém have some fun for crisakes mrff.

Of course, but you don't think these guys were fully aware of that exact German SS insignia? C'mon now.

They had a good laugh and made sure it hit the internet. It's perfect actually.

here's a link to a picture of a Schutzstaffel (SS) flag >>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_Schutzstaffel.svg

decide for yourselves IF it's the same as the flag the "Scout Snipers" are in front of.
