Calling a dead veteran a nazi when he isn't one is more disrespectful in my eyes, then a racial slur about a living person. Because that dead vet can't defend himself, and now you've just tarnished how he will be remembered for the rest of humanity. The living guy can change all that because he's still breathing.

But its not just being used on one dead vet, its getting thrown around like its hot off the press. The term is abused like no other. It really is.
I agree with you, but not in this case.
There is not the slightest hint that the article calls the crew "Nazi", really. Not even if you try hard reading between the lines... It's just not there. They labeled the sub as "Nazi" for reasons stated earlier, for no other reason.
