Few years ago they banned the swastika from their airforce

More messed up is that it took them this long to do it

I regularly see people try to defend Finland using it because it predates nazism, but so what. Acknowledging it is forever tainted by association and that maybe they should distance themselves from it isn't admitting some type of defeat.

People probably rocked Hitler moustaches before him too, but you don't see people running around with them anymore (except one comedian in my country that I absolutely despise).

The guy that introduced the swastika to the air force in the first place was a prominent finnish nazi. So I'm pretty sure these things are more related than people like to admit.
