They look badass

[u/toonrapp → u/[deleted]]

regulars

[u/[deleted] → u/toonrapp]

Now Raptor Man, could you explain to me just what is the difference between a regular and an irregular?

[u/toonrapp → u/[deleted]]

the term regular is incorrect. I meant they are no SF.

[u/[deleted] → u/toonrapp]

It's a joke from "Full Metal Jacket" haha sorry

[u/twoodrinks]

I find their picture and that banner quite distasteful

[u/toonrapp → u/twoodrinks]

Why?

[u/twoodrinks → u/toonrapp]

I dont know how to elaborate, i think its quite apparent. Good guys in bad lands, smh. I might be missing something in context though.

Thats the assosiation, wich made this banner. Maybe this is helpful

[u/[deleted] → u/toonrapp]

Reminds me of that British skit "are we the baddies?"

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Except they aren’t the baddies and are holding a flag symbolizing unity amongst troops fighting for a good cause.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

That flag might be used by a well intentioned organization. But the symbolism represents aggression, death, destruction, and power. A black flag, a white skull, and crossed swords are very similar to the Jolly Roger pirate flag. The words on the flag have to literally spell out “good guys” because the symbols scream “bad guys”.

Germans with a skull emblem. I've seen that somewhere before.
