No. We do not protest crosses on military grave markers.
Military  Grave markers may feature Crosses or other religious  devices such as Stars of David, Crescent Moons, even Wiccan Pagan symbols. These have been voluntarily  selected by persons who wish to have their religion noted on the marker.
In the case of the Crusade Cross on the military emblem at Ft. Carson, it  is not voluntary  but required to be worn or displayed irrespective of your religion. .
The cross on the emblem is a Christian  cross described as the kind of crucifix used by Crusaders to mark their territories.  This demonstrates a religious preference on the part oif the Army and promotes Christianity over other religions and non-religious belief. This renders the emblem unconstitutional and those who require it violators of constitutional provision.
I’m afraid the only BS is your ignorance of these facts.  This could be due, in part, to feelings of Christian Supremacy, which seem to have  become more prominent during the Dominion Christian infiltration of the armed forces.

I have just read that the Military Religious Freedom Foundation asked the Army this week to change the emblem of Evans Army Community Hospital at Fort Carson, outside Colorado Springs because it looks too much like a cross.  I am wondering if you are thinking about protesting the crosses that are used in the military cemeteries which identify the soldiers that died so you could carry on such frivolous BS.
