(42 posts)Are they Nazis as suggested?
I'm not putting words in your mouth... Maybe you're ok with the benign resistance of playing that song, as am I. My objection (and presumably, your response) was to them being called Nazis.
These are the men and women who are usually considered heroes when there's a hurricane response. I remember the welcome sight of them patrolling Penn Station and at the Jacob Javits staging area after 9/11. There is an element of sacrifice. My cousin in the NG just left his young family to spend a whole year in a hot, sandy place. He is being compensated... They get the uniforms and satisfy that itch for service and recognition that comes with it. However, it is not your usual "part time job" nor is it the Brown Shirt militia that some make them out to be.
