Coronado Says "Sieg Heil!"

Malcom Lagauche
San Diego is the home of the largest military installation in the world. In addition, the U.S. military in San Diego is the biggest polluter in the country. And, the military does not have to adhere to any environmental regulations. A little known fact is that San Diego is also the home of the largest swastika in the world: maybe the largest one every built. An amalgamation of buildings on the Coronado Naval Amphibian Base built almost 40 years ago depicts the Nazi symbol. Don’t forget, the NavySEAls are trained at Coronado. They are the super-elite of special forces who have created havoc for many people in Afghanistan and Iraq (...) The Jewish community of San Diego has become enraged by the swastika. The San Diego Jewish Times, as well as the director of the San Diego Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Morris Casuto, have complained to the Navy over the configuration of the buildings. Also, Congresswoman Susan Davis, D-San Diego, who is Jewish, jumped on the bandwagon. There are a few ironies here. In the past, Casuto has failed to support other minority groups who have had gripes with the government in issues of denigration (...) Again, we have lack of logic as well as misdirection. The same people who are up in arms about buildings forming a swastika have not uttered a word about the misdeeds of those people who use the buildings when they mistreat humanity. In today’s Iraq, we are witnessing the golden days of U.S. special forces, including the SEAls, in their ability to create devastation and death without accountability....
