Like I said before, symbols don't make the Nazi. What makes someone a Nazi is their beliefs in authoritarianism, white supremacy, violence as a solution and the persecution of ethnic and LGBT minorities. Without any evidence of that, this is all hot air.

authoritarianism, white supremacy, violence as a solution and the persecution of ethnic and LGBT minorities.

So, his military career.

Have you met literally anyone from the military? Get out and talk to some real people some time. If you're in the US especially. As I've said before, some vets are more disillusioned on a visceral level with the establishment than any armchair intellectual can manage because they've seen the bullshit first hand.

Yeah, I have met people from the military, and none of them signed up with mercenary death squads or were guards at fucking Abu ghraib
