Hi Guys

Interesting discussion regarding polical correct. I agree the swastika should not be used as it would offend too many people, but I see nothing wrong with using the "Maltese Cross" which is still used by German Forces on todays vehicles and planes.

I remember reading something a few years ago that the swastika symbol was used by an American Indian Tribe, I think it was the symbol for the "Thunderbird". Maybe our MLU USA members may be able to advise if this is correct.

I recently returned from Malaysia where I observed the swastika still being used in numerous chinese temples. So I guess that Despot Adolf pinched the swastika from other cultures who were using them.

Cheers

Tony
