US Marine scout sniper unit in Afghanistan posed for a photo in front of a flag resembling the logo of the Nazi SS, the Marine Corps says.

In a statement, a Marine spokesman said use of the SS symbol was not acceptable, and that the Corps had now addressed the issue.

The spokesman did not specify what action had been taken

Marines in the September 2010 photo, taken in Sangin, Afghanistan, are no longer in that unit, he added.
