Wasn’t in the list of 14...

"WP" Symbols, including as a hand sign

So why is the Black Power hand symbol not included? I mean if we are going full retard, how is a clearly racist symbol not included in the list?

The Queen's Royal Lancers better not get involved in any international training exercises!



Also I think the young man here on AW worried about his Viking religious beliefs might want to keep things quiet.

The extremism is more deeply ingrained than I thought

Don’t forget the Marines always strive for “green equality.” See this old tail code....

^ Almost all of these I have never heard of, and don’t even know what they look like. Especially some of the random Nordic runes - never heard of them and have no idea how they translate into extremist activity, by default.

I wonder how long before someone of a Norse religion will sue in federal court, saying that this harms their religious freedoms. (Remember this thread?)

And that might have some legal standing. As far as I can tell, Neo-Nazis don’t have a monopoly on Nordic symbols just like ISIS doesn’t have a monopoly on Islamic symbols. Obviously, Nordic symbols, Christian symbols, Jewish symbols, Hindu symbols, Buddhist symbols, and Islamic symbols all predate the concept of modern nation states, and if they’ve been misappropriated in the past or recently, then that’s pretty hard to pin onto the creators/ prophets/ saints of a religion.

Great. I guess I'm now an extremist. I have a very stupid tattoo on my upper middle back; matching with a long ago wife. It's like an elaborate Wheel Cross, was in the book at the tattoo shop, and it's what we picked. Never heard it was an extremist symbol (I was 20 guys lol).

So why aren't other branches doing this? Also, I haven't heard from my brothers in the Army that they had to do an All-hands mandatory "Extremist Stand down". Is the Navy that bad??
