Not quite understanding modern outrage

[Bob Womack]

A user on this board posted a WWII German item for sale and didn't post pics because the item had the swastika on it and he didn't want to offend. It is a kind gesture from the poster. But...

Over on a guitar forum that I frequent someone started a thread featuring vintage warplanes so I posted a picture and mentioned the THREE Focke Wulf FW190s that live down the road from me. The pic is of two of them in the WWII hangar from Cottbus, Germany, in which they reside.

Within a short time a person posted, highly offended, saying he thought both the displaying of the flag and my posting of the picture with the flag were in extremely poor taste. Now, this picture was shot at a museum that houses many, many WWII aircraft (most flying) from the U.S., Britain, Germany, the U.S.S.R., and soon Italy.

What has happened to our culture when people can't handle history in the context of a museum?
