US Navy Building in the Shape of the Swastika

What is apt? Sounds like a really silly non-story, and the USN is going to absurd lengths to not insult anyone. Do you really think there is some actual Nazi connection here?

That's a ridiculous amount of money to spend. Just leave it.

Meh, open a vegetarians cafe and say it is a Building for Buddhists.

Make a profit, keep its shape and keep the posers happy.

Meh. The building has a great, logical layout. Four L-shaped ones, connected at the centre, four semi-courtyards. For a building of it's kind it looks rather pleasant to me.
You can never see any swastika resemblance from ground level either. If the navy feels compelled to make a statement, I'd rather they spend their $682,000 on an anti-racist social program or something.

I remember watching someone make swastikas with Simcity in the computer room back when I was in high school. He inserted parks in the open areas. They were expensive to make because of the parks.

I knew it all the time, that's america showing it's real face!!!!111111

Must you be so dramatic ?

If the building design works, leave it. This isnt Germany we can have Swastika images here.

Sure they are bone heads for designing and building it, got me on that but cant we find a better use for the 600K?

Hindu's actually. But this is a none-issue, whoever complaints should at least apreciate the enormous whole in the middle.

Someone looking for something to complain about. Political correctness gone to extremes. This is BS and a waste of time, just leave it, it's a good building layout actually.

Since this is the Navy, shouldn't they make it in the shape of an anus?

Heut' ist mein Tag

Ich fühl' mich gut
Und mach mein Herz auf

Lass die Sonne rein
Jeder Tag soll ein Geschenk
Und was besond'res sein

Ich steh' auf
Schau' aus dem Fenster
In ein Himmelblau
Vertrieben sind die Nachtgespenster
Und ich weiss genau

Heut' ist mein Tag
Heut' ist mein Tag
Heut' ist mein Tag

Ich schau' in den Spiegel
Zieh' mir was besond'res an
Es ist kaum zu glauben
Dass man so gut ausseh'n kann

Ich tanz' auf der Strasse
Lach' den Menschen ins Gesicht
Alles denkt, ich bin verrückt
Denn sie wissen nicht

Heut' ist mein Tag
Heut' ist mein Tag
Heut' ist mein Tag
