Homeland Security Ad: Nazi Soldier, US Flag
ACHTUNG! smart words from chumbawamba:
So if you meet with these historians I'll tell you what to say / Tell them that the Nazis never really went away / They're out there burning houses down and peddling racist lies / And we'll never rest again until every Nazi dies

Bush Administration's Homeland Security Freudian Slip

Sometimes the truth has a way of coming out in the most embarrassing and unexpected ways.
If the President's newly created Office of Homeland Security sounds to you a bit reminiscent of propaganda from Nazi Germany, you're not alone in that suspicion.
According to the Washington Times (one of President Bush's strongest defenders among U.S. newspapers-see below), Texas Homeland Security chief David Dewhurst claims it was an error when an ad he commissioned in support of the Office of Homeland Security featured a Nazi Luftwaffle officer.
Was this a bizarre mistake, a Freudian slip or a rare moment of candor from the Bush administration? Considering that Bush's grandfathers made their fortune on Wall Street managing banks and shipping companies the U.S. government seized in 1942 as fronts for the Nazis, it may have been all three.
Former President Bush had his own embarrassing moments involving Nazis, including one that almost lost him the Presidency when a number of former SS officers were found to be high-ranking operatives in his Presidential campaign. Nor has GW been free of Nazi taint.
The right-wing think tank he claims is second only to the bible in its influence on his ideas, the Manhattan Institute, has numerous links to eugenics, Nazis and Nazi sympathizers. Its founder, former CIA chief William Casey, helped bring thousands of former SS officers to the U.S. following WWII.

that weird hat he's wearing would imply that he's an enlisted soldier, and the medals over the left breast are distinctly american in design. i believe only the US uses those rectangular bars as medals, whereas the nazi's were more prone to medallions, stars, and what not.

oh, and the facts still stand that the soldier in the picture is in fact wearing a uniform quite similar to an airforce dress uniform, and that the medals over the left chest are rectangular as opposed to medallion, which was preferred by the nazis.
perhaps the originator of the post should examine his own ignorance by realizing that germany is one of the most vibrant democracies in the world today, and bears little resesmblance to the nazi regime.
yep, jon. when you post something substantial, let me know.
oh wait, all you anti-war people are avoiding that thread like the plague. my bad.
