I can see your argument, but frankly, it's hardly accurate.

For one, you're suggesting that Juston was aware of what the Sentinel was when he rebuilt it, and that he had malicious intent in doing so. Neither is the case, as the original series explains. In fact, when Juston originally found what his Sentinel was used for, he was horrified.

For another, true, the Sentinels are a representation of some of the worst of man. But that doesn't mean it's the same as Juston walking around in Nazi gear. Juston's Sentinel shows signs of sentience and that makes it more than just a symbol. It is looking to his/its friend Juston as an example, and is trying to redeem him/itself.

Juston and his Sentinel represent the concept of redemption and making up for past mistakes and forgiveness. These were themes that came out in the original Sentinel series and the original 2005 mini-series.

Even going along with your argument that it is just a symbol, if it's possible for a Sentinel to represent the worst of humanity, wouldn't it and SHOULDN'T it be possible for it to be remade as a symbol of the right thing?
