This should remove it.

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 the deaths of more than 400,000 U.S. troops that died fighting in World War II as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month.
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.

Women will be the next general target, other than the leaders already relieved of command.

(22,183 posts)when they appointed a racist Nazi to run the department.
It is somewhat surprising they are moving so quickly to tear all masks off

(107,018 posts)OK this is absolute fucking insanity. No, the Nazi symbol is not "potentially divisive". We fought a six year war over it that cost millions of lives. The Nazis lost. Period. End of debate. Fuck Pete Hegseth.

But he is no better, since he is erasing all minority contributions to war efforts.

(291,541 posts)Five days a week, thousands of fans gather online to watch Nick Fuentes hold court about the dangers of non-white immigration, feminism and organized Jewry. Usually dressed in a dark suit and tie, he lectures to his far-right followers, known as Groypers, about what he argues is the insufficient radicalism of Donald Trumps Republican party and what he describes as the perfidies of the state of Israel and its American supporters.
Fuentess fixation with Israel is not rooted in concern about the war in Gaza but a belief, in his telling, that Jews are responsible for most of societys problems. Fuentes, who is 27 and lives in Illinois, has called Adolf Hitler really fucking cool and compared the Holocaust to the baking of cookies.
