U.S. Marines Photographed Posing with Nazi Flag in Afghanistan

HeadlineFeb 10, 2012

The U.S. military has apologized following the release of a photograph showing a team of marines in Afghanistan posing in front of a flag with a logo resembling that of the Nazi SS. The SS is notorious for having killed millions of people during the Nazi Holocaust. Despite the apology, none of the marines will face disciplinary action. It is the second major controversy involving marines in Afghanistan this year following the discovery of video showing troops urinating on the bodies of dead fighters.
