Once you’re in, it’s assumed you belong there, so nobody questions your presence.

We call this the “Tootsie Pop” security model here at work. Hard candy shell, nice soft insides. Read more

I don’t have a problem with this because in most World War II games, you don’t see German flags with swastikas on them. You see German flags usually with the Iron Cross featured. Why?
