The Navy decided to alter the buildings' shape following requests this year by Anti-Defamation League regional director Morris Casuto and U.S. Rep. Susan Davis.
"I don't ascribe any intentionally evil motives to this," Casuto said of the design. "It just happened. The Navy has been very good about recognizing the problem. The issue is over."
The US Navy is going to spend $600,000 to change the shape of a building that looks like a swastika because people are offended by the design? How many of the people who think that spending $600,000 to change the shape of a perfectly good building, will turn around and complain about fraud, waste and abuse in the military? Most of the bleeding heart liberals who are at the forefront of those upset by this design.
The irony is that they are worried about the shape of this building, and the "message" it sends, when this is the same country that allows native born citizens whose parents were from every ethnic group killed under that symbol to legally run for the highest offices in the country. It is one that not only doesn't harass the Jewish people, but has frequently taken on the status of pariah for openly defending them, and Israel in particular.
Of course, the ADL and it's supporters could volunteer to pay $600,000 of their own money to help the Navy make this change...
Perhaps when they're done with all those evil swastika buildings, the ADL can finally focus on getting rid of those evil cross-shaped buildings. Can't have anything that even remotely hints of Christianity, you know.
And then mybe they can change the shapes of ALL buildings because, well, they might remind someone of something, and everything offends at least someone, so yeah, they should get on that right away...
