In this day in age, wearing a swastika brings along with it certain connotations. And I'm not even saying he should or shouldn't. But if you choose to do it, then expect backlash.
Unless you’re Ukrainian fighting Russia. We’ve just looked the other way on that one because there’s money to be laundered.

A bit off topic, but this is a great patch I have.

I have a ring with it somewhere around the house. I wear it occasionally. My surname is Ashkenazi Jewish.
My grandfather's brother took it from an SS officer...against his will. I can trace one of my lines to the time of the Vinils.
The ring has a few meanings to me.
A german/coonass who didn't know of his jewish heritage cut the ring from the hand of a german who falsely claimed his real scandinavian/nordic heritage while simultaneously butchering his more recent ancestors. In short, frick him...
The ring is mine. The symbol is mine. The blood is mine.

Is he a Ukrainian refugee?

I highly doubt this guy custom made this patch himself. If I had to guess, he probably came across it either online
This is probably correct, but it likely not some mistake.
There is a strong contingent of crypto-Nazi/racist organizations who are aligned with more clean fronts. These clean fronts push a softer racist/white supremacist ideology and rope in willful idiots like this soldier.
Summary: this soldier likely didn't know it was Nazi propaganda, but he was exposed to it via online groups he should not be dipping his toes into.

FBI on their way to pay you a visit.

I wonder what his username here is.

Swastikas are all over the tile floor of the Saenger Theater on Canal Street.
It was also used by various Indian tribes in the American Southwest. Before World War II, the US 45th Infantry Division, comprised of National Guard troops from this area, had this as its divisional patch…
It was changed to the “Thunderbird”, also an Indian symbol in the late 1930s due to the connection of swastikas with Nazi Germany…
