Oh trust me, Im thoroughly tired of the way our military and civilian leadership jumps at the opportunity to apologize, instead of explain.
Muslims deface the Koran and we attempt to dispose of those copies (as opposed to keeping them forever, I guess) and there we are apologizing and then having our people killed in retaliation, all over a

ing book.
Same with the SS debacle. Something that goes back to Vietnam. Something that adorns the doors to living quarters, challenge coins, etc, etc. There was a problem with it in the 80's, the 90's, and then 2012. Nothing new.
What is new, is that back then (minus the mental masturbatory nature of the media, of course) is that we explained the situation away. Now, we appologize and forefit any explanation, and subsequent debate.
Again, this is not an issue. This is a place that men in their mid to late 20's or older, go to learn, debate ideas, etc. This was an optional course.
