is is acceptable to brandish the Iron Cross as an American? To me it doesn't even have a German connotation, it just symbolizes strength and discipline. We could even call it the Betsy Ross Iron Cross

Of course it's accaeptable to wear as an American. Look at our own country's demographics

That's nice. It was, of course, used by Germans since the 13th century, but feel free to ignore that.

There is literally nothing more quintistially German than the Iron Cross

>>139896292
obviously its origins are German but my wearing of it isn't necessarily an endorsement of Germany.

You can buy an Iron Cross keychain at Walmart, it didn't get the same treatment the swastika did.

It doesn't have any American roots, but as other posters have indicated, is deeply German. So in America this symbol would communicate a connection to Germany.
If you're looking for fashy symbols that are American, there's a deep well to draw from. The fasces is front and center in Congress.

i have one tattoo on my neck...it freaks motherfuckers out.

but then again i work out every day, drive v8s and make enough money to not be fucked with.

It kind of does. Nothing wrong with endorsing another culture if you agree with it, but I don't understand your attempt to divorce the iron cross from Germany entirely. It's one of the most German symbols out there. It should stay German, don't you think?
