Hello.
I am one of the several military special operators who came to the MRFF for help about our Team Leader trying to change the name of our unit to The Crusaders.
First off I am a Christian and all of the others who joined me in asking for the MRFF’s help are also.
Our Team Leader also wanted a new patch for the new Crusader name. He had 3 of them drawn up and we voted on the best. Let me say that many of us including our (Senior NCO’s title withheld) were totally against this FUBAR idea of the new name and patch. But in our world defying such a “suggestion” by the guy in charge of our war fighting unit can get you jacked up and shitcanned forever. And this is why we called for the MRFF.
The patch drawing that got the most votes was the least offensive one and yet it still sucked big time. I can’t send a photo of it w/o getting ID’ed but I will describe it.
It shows a picture of a crusader in his armor with a cross on the front in red color holding up his sword in one hand while standing on a mountain top. The sky was a big American flag with 2 lighting bolts forming a Christian cross. In his other hand was the severed head of his enemy. Dripping with blood and with black hair and a long hook nose. Our boss said this was supposed to be the head of Satan but how would anyone even know that? He said it would put fear into the hearts of our enemies. And this one was the least gross and obnoxious of the three we voted on.
Look all of this is just so f-ed up we can’t even believe it. Even though the MRFF came in to stop this almost right away the damage has been done in our unit because of our Team Leader’s selfish attempt to change our name and use this f’ed up uniform patch. Making us out to be Christian warriors. We have plenty of folks in the Spec Ops community who are not everyday Christians. But this whole thing even shocked many of us who are like me and the others who came with me to ask the MRFF to stop it. The negative consequences of this had it gone through would have been hugely bad!
Our serious thanks to Mr. Weinstein and the whole of MRFF who all jumped into this shit at our request and dealt with our chain of command. Our local MRFF (installation name withheld) representative set this up for us to get to Mr. Weinstein directly and we also thank her. The MRFF fixed this so fast it left our heads spinning. Cannot thank y’all enough!
Please don’t use any of our ID info but as we don’t want others to have to ever go thru this it’s fine to use everything else.

This Special Ops patch idea, and the way the Team Leader runs it are kind of like a Quentin Tarantino movie: each is the product of a deeply immature mind.
With the Tarantino movie, it’s just a movie (though I’d be surprised if Mr Team Leader hasn’t seen some, if not all of them, and drawn inspiration from them), but our military isn’t a movie, it’s teal life and people live or die according to how it conducts itself.
Cutting to the chase, there will always be immature people walking this earth. Most of what they say and do is of limited consequence, but when they are part of a strict chain of command in which those below them are bound by duty and a desire to protect careers, that immaturity can affect a great many lives, few if any for the better?
Seems as if a lot of life has been reduced to the status of an internet GAME. TV and computers need cleaning up and–sadly, censoring. For the sake of national security. So glad Mikey is accessible and competent. But sorry so many are so brain-washed by the God Ppl.They have no idea how misled they are. Truly, pathetic. And dangerous for national security.
This is just a small part of a very well-organized and well-funded effort to impose particular religious beliefs on the entire country, without respect for other people’s beliefs or the first amendment. We can easily see government officials and military leaders at the highest levels supporting this theocratic oppression and ignoring our constitution. It isn’t a nightmare scenario that happens only in other countries – it is our reality now. And it is only the beginning, unless a lot of citizens speak out in defense of decency, civic responsibility, religious freedom, and the constitution.
Spot on Jeff! Well said brother!
