(150 posts)The OP's comparison of this person's outfit to the uniforms and military personnel of the Third Reich is obnoxious, unwarranted, needlessly insulting, and misguided.
Ocelot II
(119,697 posts)looks like a Nazi? I was expecting something like an SS uniform or swastika tattoos. He looks like a Marine officer; to suggest that an ordinary Marine officer looks like a Nazi is incredibly offensive. OP should delete the post.

(16,169 posts)He was a lieutenant in a service uniform ("A"?) in that picture.
In today's appearance, he is a captain in dress blues. See video posted below.
Still doesn't look like a NAZI to me, but maybe a bit closer.

a kennedy
(31,723 posts)Its a black uniform with that belt thing across his chest like Ive seen in movies depicting Nazi uniforms.
Chellee
(2,200 posts)Because the reality of the situation doesn't seem to match your impressions. He does not look like a Nazi, not even a little bit.

(27,238 posts)You should really consider self-deleting this. It's a ridiculous, ignorant, and offensive assertion.
a kennedy
(31,723 posts)hes even stationed in Germany. I have never seen dress uniforms like that EVER.
TwilightZone
(27,238 posts)That is one of the most ludicrous assertions I've ever seen on DU. I didn't think you could top the OP, but you managed.
Seriously, just stop posting.

(31,723 posts)did you watch the whole show??? Even during the final Jeopardy question, his answer even his demeanor was a tad weird to us. Did you see it?? Ive got it on DVR, Im gonna watch it again.

(16,169 posts)I get what you're saying about the blue/black uniform and the Sam Browne belt, but that's not that uncommon for a military uniform.
a kennedy
(31,723 posts)seen a uniform like that on any American military personal, EVER.

Your OP is really offensive.
You should delete it.

(11,807 posts)I hadn't seen before, I only remember dress blues. He was articulate, intelligent and thanked the staff members of Jeopardy for being helpful. I ended up rooting for him, The black uniforms may not be the best, but don't take it out on him.
a kennedy
(31,723 posts)Ah, thats what Ive been saying the uniform WAS BLACK!!!!! Not blue.
yellowdogintexas
(22,645 posts)The Corp has the best uniforms, hands down. He just looks like a Marine. There is a difference in the stance, posture and demeanor of the Corp. Even in civvies they kind of stand out.
My father in law was a career Marine.
Aristus
(67,930 posts)The Marine dress blue uniform coat is black, or very dark blue. The trousers are usually white or light blue with a red stripe down each leg.
None of the U.S. military's uniforms look very much like Nazi uniforms, even bearing in mind that the uniform-obsessed Germans had uniforms for everything back in the day.
