    Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as “potentially divisive” under its new guidelines. The new policy, set to take effect Dec. 15, similarly downgrades the definition of nooses and the Confederate flag, though display of the latter remains banned, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post.

    “We don’t deserve the trust of the nation if we’re unclear about the divisiveness of swastikas,” [a Coast Guard] official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity due to a fear of reprisal.

      Afraid of pro-nazi reprisals, won’t give his name? That sounds like a bass-ackwards way of saying that the Navy doesn’t deserve the trust of the nation.
