OMG!!!!!!!!! So much drama over a nickel and dime subject. I have relatives that were affected by WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Some of them were injured, some killed, and some still MIA. I really hate to say I agree with Buuddha or anyone in Muthas (just because I have been farmed by them, LOL) but I have to agree that people should have a right to change their personal name or gang name to whatever they want as long as they are not trying to direct it at a specific person or gang. Sure, I have only been on quickly the last few days to train, career, and skill but SHEESH!!!!!!! lighten up on insignificant issues in game like a name change.

To those in the aforementioned wars, the action itself was directed at a country or army as it were. The actions of the SS were carried out at the behest of a fanatic whose sole purpose it seems was to wipe out one specific race. Those bullets intended for holocaust victims did not have "To whom it may concern' written on them. They were intended for those people specifically. Very deliberate.......In Korea and Vietnam I don't think they were too particular about who they killed just as long as they were dead. The holocaust was a systematic, deliberate slaughter of a few specific ethnicities. Jews, homosexuals, Jehovahs Witnesses and Gypsies.

Description taken from Wiki:

The Waffen-SS (German for "Armed SS", literally "Weapons SS") was the combat arm of the Schutzstaffel ("Protective Squadron") or SS. In contrast to the Heer, Germany's regular army, the Waffen-SS was a group of combat units composed of volunteer troops, with its members partially having strong personal commitments to Nazi ideology and also partially selected on a racial basis.

After the war, at the Nuremberg Trials the Waffen-SS was condemned as a criminal organisation due to its political connections to the Nazi Party (National Socialist German Workers Party or NSDAP), and involvement in war crimes and The Holocaust.
