The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.
Just yesterday, they had decided to take them off their list of hate symbols. But Americans, unlike Republicans, don’t like Nazis.

“We’re going to allow Nazis into the U.S. military unless there’s enough pushback.”
Could our federal government be more pathetic? Is it even possible?
They realised people works draw graffiti of Nazis being hanged I see
I think it bears mentioning that the Coast Guard is the only military service branch organized under Dept. of Homeland Security, rather than Dept. of Defense.
I commented on the previous story how I was surprised that they did the Nazi symbols at the same time as the Confederate symbols, essentially admitting that they have almost the same meaning. A racist with even the tiniest shred of intelligence would do the Confederate symbols first and the Nazi ones later.
And now here we are, the Nazi symbols are back on the list, but nobody is talking about the Confederate symbols.

Well I think I see the problem…
And yet all the totenkopfs and SS runes will continue to be ignored. Sorry, “punisher skulls” and “really cool lightning bolts”
Still. Good to see that there is A line. Even if it is one mostly built around decorum rather than actually caring about white supremacy.
Tbf even if it IS the punisher skull that’s still a massive dogwhistle.
I have yet to meet someone showcasing that that also wasn’t showing fascist tendencies…
I made a kick ass punisher Windows XP theme way back. But thay was when the movie came out and I just thought the black and white theme and skull start button looked cool.
These are the people Frank would be hunting.
I need to watch the new Daredevil because I’ve been told theres a big beautiful punisher battle for those of us that realize the punisher would kick the shit out of LEOs that use his imagery.
It’s a part of his show too
Word, I haven’t kept up since the Disney plus move, love the Jon Bernthal Fank Castle though.
Who would’ve thought this would blow up in their faces? /s
But secretly they won’t.
“Not as popular as we hoped it would be, we’ll try again in a few months.”
Right? The blowback will be minimal though it makes you wonder what other kinds of initiatives they’re playing around with behind the scenes… It’s great they reversed it but why the fuck did they ever make it ok in the first place?!
So the USCGC Eagle isn’t getting its original name back after all?
