So then we single out the majority for the few? Why stop with the IC, why not eliminate all Second World War German references across the board including the Blakenkreuz?
Turn in your models to the thought police, Wolster. There be evil in them!!!
The problem is not the IC. The problem is those who think they can continue to brow beat an entire nation over the crimes of the murderous few now two generations removed. And somehow justify discounting the valor of brave men by citing the example of those who never saw battle.
When we start to strip the battle laurels of those who justly earned them, then we may as well start re-writing history.
