Selected Article Excerpts:

  • Mikey Weinstein, president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a group devoted to the separation of church and state, penned a blog post on the Daily Kos last Thursday — just one day before the signboard’s removal — decrying it as a “stunning, unconstitutional disgrace.
    That outrageously ghastly graphic encapsulates precisely that which we’ve been ceaselessly calling the attention of the American people to for all this time,” Weinstein wrote. “The poster astoundingly displays the shoulder tabs of the U.S. Special Forces (i.e. Green Berets), Rangers and Airborne troopers accompanied by the seethingly sectarian slogan ‘ON A MISSION FOR BOTH GOD AND COUNTRY.‘”
  • “Whoever, in any way, shape or form, allowed that poster to be designed, prepared and displayed, those individuals should be aggressively investigated and very visibly punished,” Weinstein told the Army Times following the removal.

    This article made me notice a similarly religious/armed forces thing in our Junior High. It is partially covered up, but it says something like, “There are only two […] who will die for you. Jesus Christ and the American Armed Forces. I live in such a small town, and I have already been branded as a horrible person for standing up against right wing nuts. So I am reluctant to again stick my neck out to have this removed. However, I think this article will help me make my case, even if anonymously. Thank you for everything, Mikey and Bonnie!!!!!
