Good luck in that. I knew someone who worked in a civilian capacity in a U.S. Coast Guard station and he said they all acted like a bunch of juvenile delinquents, or like the worst fraternity at a college known for being a party school. It would not surprise him at all that they've done this.
Then it is up to military personnel to call out, and hold accountable, those that do this shit.
Oh, but a noose or swastika aren't at all "divisive".
