He put on an 82nd Airborne cap and gave a KKK salute in Charlottesville. Vets had words.

One thing set the man with sandy blonde hair apart, and it wasn’t the Ku Klux Klan gesture he was making with his left hand.

He was, after all, at a white supremacist rally  Saturday. And he was flanked by several other men making the same salute: thumb tucked under four fingers, arm extended. Some wore bulletproof vests or clothing emblazoned with the Confederate flag. None were out of place at the rally.

But the blonde  man was wearing a hat with the insignia of the Army’s 82nd Airborne  — and people who had served in the unit took notice. Lots of them.

The image was tweeted by a former Obama administration official Sunday. Then it was shared by soldiers who had served in the unit, who shared it with their buddies, Army officials say.

1. Has he been #NamedAndShamed yet?

or a chicken hawk who bought the cap to give his stolen valor a little credibility with the other Fascist Nazis he hangs with?
None of which I know for sure, but I do wonder.
I also wonder what a real member of the 82nd Airborne would do with 5 minutes alone time?

2. That's not a KKK salute, it's a Nazi salute

In this particular case that's an important distinction

Members of the 82nd Airborne died fighting to keep the Nazi's out of our country
