I like how they took the picture at 45deg, not straight on.

What a wonderful way to spend tax dollars -- cosmetic retrofitting to address a perception problem.

Looks pretty straight down to me.

I like how the shadows really emphasize the swastika look.

Back in the ancient days of 1967 . . . weren't there things called "blueprints?" :D

What I mean is that in the frame, the building is at 45deg. IE They didn't take it with the street running across the bottom.

Navy must be into ancient Hindu symbols.

No one gave a **** back then.:rolleyes:

What a waste of tax dollars. Anyone who is offended can either pay for it themselves or STFU.
