For some reason a nazi symbol can manage to not be considered hate speech....just "potentially divisive". This seems to speak to the ideologies this administration are happy to empower. Getting angry at posters for being critical of Israel I'd expect some posters will be quite upset to hear this is happenning in your navy.
And ditto for nooses and confederate flags (though their display is still banned).
What kind of coast guard Commandant would allow this? Glad you asked.
Admiral Kevin Lunday
Wow. How can that be?
Well as per a smart person than me:
This role requires senate approval. If you do not put forward a candidate, there is an unconfirmed interim leader.
So the Admiral leading the navy does not have senate confirmation, and has been leading the navy in an interim capacity since inauguration with no replacement in sight.
This was actually detailed in project 2025 as a way to have sycophants installed without the need for Senate approvals.
