Swastikas, Roman Gear, modern reenactment (cont from market)
#11
I know most everyone here knows the history behind the swastika. Something not everyone might be aware of is that it is still a common symbol used by practioners of Asatru. Its a shame that it cannot be worn for either reenactment or religious purposes without automatically being judged as a racist and having to justify oneself to a disbelieving and often overly judgemental populace.

I agree with you 100% Jona and I only wish more people would have your attitude. It would be nice to be able to wear it without having to risk losing a security clearance or having to explain myself. Hopefully people are a bit more open minded with the issue than here in the U.S., but without more knowledge I would probably doubt that.
