Rick Perry was in the Corps of cadets of Texas A & M university and in the U.S. Air Force. If you think that those who serve their country honorably are Nazis then you are not very smart. I'll take someone at 18 who is mature and willing to do something positive for his country over the smoking slacker any ol' day.
Okay, solvegas, since you asked, let me point out the features: No American armed service has used (or required training) in the use of sabres since the Spanish-American War. The SS, but not the Wehrmacht, required it for promotion until 1945. Check the boots; not g.i. Actually, that whole uniform doesn't look very g.i. to my old eyes. Way too much leather, except for the BDSM fetishist.
Frankly, knowing a bit about where and how Perry grew up, I think he's more to be pitied than scorned, except that he has shown about as much empathy as your average concentration camp commandant. Anyone who has read Tim Ryan's
The Worst Hard Times knows about the place; and he came along about 15 years later. Last time I was there, Haskell hadn't changed much.
