Small wars are pretty enjoyable.

Just a lot of killing civilians in the globe south for this guy.

Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner said Wednesday he has covered up a controversial tattoo that appeared to have a resemblance to a Nazi symbol.

Platner, a U.S. military veteran and oyster farmer who is running for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in Maine, said in an Instagram video that he got his "skull and crossbones" tattoo covered on Tuesday.

It was a SS-style totenkopf tattoo. He knew what is was for years.

The same symbol is used often in Ukraine military.

It also appears in this skit.

Hitler ran for the presidency in 1932 and was defeated by the incumbent Paul von Hindenburg, but achieved a strong showing of second place in both rounds. In July 1932, the Nazis became the largest party in the Reichstag, albeit short of an absolute majority. Traditionally, the leader of the party who held the most seats in the Reichstag was appointed Chancellor. However, President von Hindenburg was hesitant to appoint Hitler. Following several backroom negotiations—which included industrialists, Hindenburg's son Oskar, former chancellor Franz von Papen, and Hitler – Hindenburg acquiesced and on 30 January 1933, he formally appointed Hitler as Germany's new chancellor.
