The US military and their appendages have nazi and fascist tattoos because they are the US military not inspite of it. This is not an exception to the rule, this is what they are. A better question to ask is why don't all US military personnel have nazi tattoos (aesthetics, greater loyalty to american fascist imagery than german ones etc etc). And maybe a more pertinent question is why isn't this fact obvious to so-called western leftists; what relative class characterstics (or material conditions) of the latter group leads to this "ignorance".
