Nazi Swastika Flag
Jun 14^th, 2018 at 12:01pm

Australian soldiers flew Nazi swastika flag from vehicle in Afghanistan; PM says diggers' actions 'absolutely wrong'

"Australian soldiers have been photographed flying a Nazi swastika flag from their vehicle while on operations in Afghanistan.

"The photo, obtained exclusively by the ABC, was taken in August 2007.

"The photograph shows the large swastika emblem hoisted over an Australian military vehicle.

"Two separate Defence sources have identified a particular soldier as the individual who took the flag to Afghanistan."

The ABC has seen a second photograph of the flag, and it is understood that further images of the flag in Afghanistan have also been circulated among Australian soldiers.

One Defence source who was aware of the flag being flown in Afghanistan in 2007 said it was a "twisted joke", rather than evidence or an expression of genuine neo-Nazism.

The source claimed the flag was up for a "prolonged period".

Nuh, just expecting you to get hyper-hysterical over some indiscretion committed by the Australian Army in a war zone and you are about to, aren't you?

Do what makes you feel better about this.

The article requires not a lot of either, wouldn't you say?

Should they have done it? no

Did it harm another human being? probably not

Will this soldier face disciplinary action? I would say so

And there we go

Johney Rotten wore a swastika t shirt and I betcha Pecca loves it. Loads of punks wore Nazi gear. Stop being so over sensitive do-gooders.
