Army unit commander caves, removes image of Crusader warrior

“A sign outside an Army training center at Fort Shafter, Hawaii, that featured a knight with crosses on his breastplate and shield was taken down Monday afternoon, hours after the head of a religious-freedom advocacy group called for the image’s removal.

“The image represented the ‘Fighting Knights’ of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 8th Special Troops Battalion. Members of the unit recently transformed an unused motor pool area into a warrior training center, 8th Theater Sustainment Command spokeswoman Sgt. 1st Class Mary Ferguson told Army Times.”

(The unit, or Fort Shafter, caved, naturally, to charges by Military Religious Freedom Foundation that the sign “enrages our Islamic allies” and “emboldens our Islamic enemies.”)
