"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
Actually the uniforms of the Nazis were quite shoddy, very poorly made and of substandard materiel.
There was a reason that there were always clothing drives for the soldiers on the Eastern Front.
When I was a boy in the '50s and very early '60s there were a lot of German and Japanese trophies around, the German stuff was mostly junk, except for weapons.
...And Winston Churchill carried a 1911 in his pocket. as for Nazi regalia the only Nazi uniforms and helmets I wanna see will have bullet holes in them. This latent empathy/fascination for Nazism makes me want to puke. Mesa AZ VFW puts on a gunshow and some goon is selling war surplus while wearing a Herman Goring style white Nazi uniform(he had the build for it) The juxtaposition of WWII vets in wheel chairs and this a** with the swastika armband just really set me off. Yeah, I can't go to the Mesa VFW anymore, or Mesa for that matter, but SOMEBODY had to make a point. Nice pic and caption Roger! RAK

I obviously love it Celt!
ReplyDeleteI'm not entirely certain, but I think that I got that quote from you, Rodger, the last time you used it.
