Echo Company of the 212th Aviation Regiment has an evil cross on the signage outside their headquarters at Fort Rucker. According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www-rucker.army.mil\/usaace\/110ab\/1-212th\/index.html\">212th Regiment&#8217;s webpage<\/a>, they train &#8220;Initial Entry Rotary Wing Students in UH-60A, OH-58C, and TH67A+ helicopters. The unit also conducts the Army&#8217;s only non-rated Crewmember Standard Instruction. In addition, the battalion supports allied military training mission.&#8221; Apparently it&#8217;s only Echo Company that calls themselves &#8220;Crusaders&#8221; and uses the evil image of the cross on their sign.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The logo of Echo Company, 1st Battalion, 212th Aviation Regiment, based at Fort Rucker, Alabama, contains &#8220;blatantly unconstitutional Christian Crusader imagery&#8221; and should be discontinued immediately, Military Religious Freedom Foundation president and founder Mikey Weinstein wrote Monday in an email addressed to Maj. Gen. Michael Lundy, commanding general of Fort Rucker and the Army Aviation Center of Excellence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>MFers claim to have a membership of 40,000 members of the military, you know, like IVAW claimed thousands of invisible members.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Weinstein&#8217;s letter to Lundy asks the general to launch &#8220;an aggressive investigation and insure visible and appropriate punishment for any and all individuals (including yourself) who are either directly or indirectly responsible for this unconstitutional injustice.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Because this is what&#8217;s most important to the Army today &#8211; an investigation into how a company got it&#8217;s nickname. Just by saying something is &#8220;unconstitutional&#8221; doesn&#8217;t make it so. The Constitution says that &#8220;Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof&#8230;&#8221; I&#8217;m sure that Congress didn&#8217;t pass a law mandating that E-1\/212th name themselves the Crusaders, so WTF is Mikey talking about? He sounds Bernathian in his hyperbole.<\/p>\n<p>These MFers are starting to get like those people trying to make a name for themselves in the Stolen Valor news &#8211; looking for something to get outraged about and then they call Mikey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bobo sends us a link to the Army Times which reports the missed-named Military Religious Freedom &hellip; <a title=\"MRFF; more grievance for &#8220;Crusaders&#8221;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=62964\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">MRFF; more grievance for &#8220;Crusaders&#8221;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":62965,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[177],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dumbass-bullshit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=62964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62964\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/62965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=62964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=62964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=62964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
