I have really had it with this "lets be sensitive to every possible
sensitivity anyone might have" crap.  If someone is so screwed up in the
head and is offended by the swastika on a model ship or airplane then
I sure am not going to worry about it.  

Really that's all I'm going to say about it.  With so many millions
of people on this earth, there's prbably a nut case of some type
that would be offended by almost anything.

This isn't meant as a flame to the poster, just my hope that this type
of issue doesn't find a home in this newsgroup.  Build whatever you
like and detail it as accurately as you please and NEVER let someone
else censor your hobby!
