and he’s in the semi finals……he’s wearing his military uniform, and I swear to gawd he looks like a Nazi. Did anyone else see Jeopardy today??? 🤬 🤬 🤬

Ok, here’s the dress uniforms I have seen…..

and sorry have not seen the uniform of the guy that won Jeopardy today.

1. How do you "look like a Nazi" unless you have some kind of insignia or tattooa

or other markings? In what way did he look like a Nazi?

[rsdsharp]

2. He looked like a US marine captain in dress blues to me.

[a kennedy]

12. Oh, I thought his uniform was black and I recall seeing a black belt type thing

across his chest. So, it was my opinion, it looked like a Nazi uniform to me.

[rsdsharp]

27. That's the shoulder strap of a Sam Browne belt.

He was also wearing Eagle, Globe and Anchor pins on his collar.

31. If blue looks black on your TV, adjust your set properly before you yell NAZI!

[3catwoman3]

3. He did not look like a Nazi to me.

[a kennedy]

13. Ok, he did to me.

[ThreeNoSeep]

4. Hmmm. What are you actually trying to do?

The OP's comparison of this person's outfit to the uniforms and military personnel of the Third Reich is obnoxious, unwarranted, needlessly insulting, and misguided.

[Ocelot II]

5. So the OP thinks any White guy with a short haircut and wearing a military uniform

looks like a Nazi? I was expecting something like an SS uniform or swastika tattoos. He looks like a Marine officer; to suggest that an ordinary Marine officer looks like a Nazi is incredibly offensive. OP should delete the post.

11. That's a different uniform (and rank) than in today's appearance.

He was a lieutenant in a service uniform ("A"?) in that picture.

In today's appearance, he is a captain in dress blues. See video posted below.

Still doesn't look like a NAZI to me, but maybe a bit closer.

[a kennedy]

20. Ah, yah, and his uniform was NOT blue, it looked black to us.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. Adjust your damn TV before damning American service members

A properly adjusted TV does not show blue as black.

[a kennedy]

14. No this was NOT the uniform he was wearing tonight.

Here is the uniform he was wearing tonight……

[gay texan]

6. No, he doesnt.

seriously????

[a kennedy]

15. Yes, seriously, I thought so.

[IcyPeas]

7. Looking at your avatar, i seriously have to ask... are you high?

Really insulting post.

[a kennedy]

16. No not smoking.....only on Friday and Saturday, and sorry if you think it's insulting......

It’s a black uniform with that belt thing across his chest like I’ve seen in movies depicting Nazi uniforms.

[Chellee]

8. Did YOU see Jeopardy today?

Because the reality of the situation doesn't seem to match your impressions. He does not look like a Nazi, not even a little bit.

[a kennedy]

17. Did you see it tonight?? I thought he did, JMHO.

[TwilightZone]

9. It would seem that you've never seen a US soldier in a military uniform before.

You should really consider self-deleting this. It's a ridiculous, ignorant, and offensive assertion.

[a kennedy]

18. Sorry you are wrong, I have never seen a black uniform like that one.....

he’s even stationed in Germany. I have never seen dress uniforms like that EVER.

[TwilightZone]

30. You think he's a Nazi because he's stationed in Germany?

That is one of the most ludicrous assertions I've ever seen on DU. I didn't think you could top the OP, but you managed.

Seriously, just stop posting.

10. Video:

19. I have never seen a black dress uniform like that ever.......

did you watch the whole show??? Even during the final Jeopardy question, his answer even his demeanor was a tad weird to us. Did you see it?? I’ve got it on DVR, I’m gonna watch it again.

[sl8]

21. No, I just saw a few minutes.

I get what you're saying about the blue/black uniform and the Sam Browne belt, but that's not that uncommon for a military uniform.

[a kennedy]

22. Ok, thanks, and sorry if it pissed a lot of people off......but damn I have NEVER

seen a uniform like that on any American military personal, EVER.

[flying rabbit]

23. Step away from the bong.

[a kennedy]

25. Ah, please, not until tomorrow and Saturday....

[tusk]

26. As a Marine...

I find this horribly offensive.

Granted, I was willing to fight for your right to say ignorant shit... but.. goddamn.

[a kennedy]

28. Hey tusk....welcome to DU.....and so glad it was this post that you responded to.

Sorry, it looked black to me and a Nazi type uniform. Welcome.

[2naSalit]

33. That's a US Marine Corps. dress uniform.

Only thing not seen is the hat. He is properly dressed for an active duty Marine at a civilian event. I have seen thousands of these on and off base.

Your OP is really offensive.

You should delete it.

[a kennedy]

34. Ah, here are all the Marine Dress Uniforms I've EVER seen....

https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/marines-uniform

I have NEVER seen a uniform like what that contestant was wearing last night……sorry.

[DURHAM D]

35. He looks like most of the men in the midwest.

The midwest was settled during the Great German Migration. My ancestors, uncles, cousins, etc all look like him.

Hello

[xocetaceans]

36. Clearly, you seem to have no clue what Nazi uniforms looked like. Just delete your post. n/t

[dem4decades]

37. I saw this post and went back to my DVR and found the show. The Marine was wearing a black uniform that

I hadn't seen before, I only remember dress blues. He was articulate, intelligent and thanked the staff members of Jeopardy for being helpful. I ended up rooting for him, The black uniforms may not be the best, but don't take it out on him.

[a kennedy]

38. Did people here read this??

The Marine was wearing a black uniform I hadn’t seen before

Ah, that’s what I’ve been saying the uniform WAS BLACK!!!!! Not blue.

[yellowdogintexas]

39. It was definitely black. It was also definitely unquestionably a Marine Uniform

The Corp has the best uniforms, hands down. He just looks like a Marine. There is a difference in the stance, posture and demeanor of the Corp. Even in civvies they kind of stand out.

My father in law was a career Marine.

[Aristus]

40. Did you see the guy's trousers?

The Marine dress blue uniform coat is black, or very dark blue. The trousers are usually white or light blue with a red stripe down each leg.

None of the U.S. military's uniforms look very much like Nazi uniforms, even bearing in mind that the uniform-obsessed Germans had uniforms for everything back in the day.
