The Army’s Trauma 3 school has stopped using the Roman numeral III because tender skinned offendeds say the numerals “have been adopted by a domestic extremist group.” Trauma 3 is “an 18-month special operations medical course at the JFK Special Warfare Center and School" at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
From military.com.
“An element of Army Special
Operations Command has distanced itself from a unit logo that has been adopted
by a domestic extremist group.
"Just last week, the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and
School advised all of its personnel to avoid using more than a dozen symbols
linked by law enforcement to extremist activity.
“One, featuring a Roman numeral ‘III’ surrounded by a circle of
stars, is now the symbol of the Three Percenters, a ‘militia
movement/paramilitary group with members who adhere to a far-right/libertarian
ideology with a primary focus on firearms ownership right and opposition to
expansive U.S. federal government authority,’ according to a JFK SWCS slide
briefing.
“The image had been part of the long-time unofficial symbol of
Trauma 3, an 18-month, special
operations medical course focused on tactical combat casualty
care.”
Those January 6 insurrectionists President Trump sent to take
the Capitol actually were right-wing extremists who want to overthrow the government.
Some of those extremists are members of civilian groups that have logos. Some
logos are adopted from way long time ago, like the Roman numeral III, which
Romans used to designate the number III. But, a right-wing extremist group uses
the Roman numeral III; therefore, any use of III in the U.S. military must be
stopped and the number III eliminated.
