Because Frank, it looks like the men are doing a "Heil Hitler". The Iraqi eagle above the "Airborne" sign resembles the Wehrmacht eagle which usually is seen clutching a swastika. Also the Airborne flag draped in that manner reminds me of how the Nazi Flag was displayed in occupied countries.
The ROW thinks we're a bunch of Nazi's so why perpetuate that perception?
