#10  Take two of the outside legs and reverse them, and then you will have the symbol for infinity. Will pi$$ off the Finite Community, but they are a limited number anyway.

#9  WW2 started and ended six-plus decades ago, and the Swastika is also an ancient Native American symbol of the sacred, all powerful Thunderbird.
Get over it.

#8  Crapadoodle, the arms even open in the correct direction (counter-clockwise). So, how many Jewish pilots are going to get a chance to be offended by this?

#7  Are we really so hypersensitive that we are seeing swastikas in building design???! It looks like a good design to me. Everyone has a window with a view and good natural light. Half the offices look out over a courtyard.

Sheesh. You can't see it unless you are looking from above. Don't we have more important problems in the world than people who run around seeing Nazis under every tree.

#5  Oh. This is Dave von Kleist...

Sounds like he'd be the type of guy that'd expect all military housing to be shaped like this...

#4  Better yet, they shouldn't just camouflage the design, just 'fill it in', expand the facility into a "crossed square", we can always use another 'geometric' design like the pentagon. Simple logic.

#3  I saw it. Yeah, I'm sure that's the only government housing complex in the US with four L shaped buildings in it configured like that.
Here's an idea. Tear one of them down.

#1  Dave von Kleist, host of “The Power Hour,” a Missouri-based radio-talk show, said he wrote to military officials calling for action. “I'm concerned about symbolism,” he said. “This is not the type of message America needs to be sending to the world.”

1. Dave von Kleist ought to take a fuckin pill.
2. Who's Dave von Kleist?
