ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - Mikey Weinstein, who sued the Air Force over allegations that Air Force Academy cadets were subjected to Christian evangelization, now wants New Mexico's Cannon Air Force Base to end the 523rd Fighter Squadron's use of "Crusaders" as the unit's nickname.
He also objects to the squadron's emblem, which features a cross, a sword and an armored helmet.
Weinstein, who's Jewish, says having warplanes named after medieval Christians who fought Muslims in the Holy Land is crazy when the United States is at war with radical Islam.
He believes the religious emblem also is unconstitutional. A Cannon Air Force Base spokesman says he knows of no plans to change the Crusaders nickname or the 523rd unit emblem.

Weinstein, who's Jewish, says having warplanes named after medieval Christians who fought Muslims in the Holy Land is crazy when the United States is at war with radical Islam. Seems perfectly appropriate to me!
What is Weinstein's standing? Is he in the Air Force? If not, what's it to him?

We ought to paint big red crosses on our aircraft, except for the fact that they make such great aiming points, as the IDF demostrated on all those rusty old Lebanese ambulances... (SNORT!>

Maybe he would be satisfied if the squadron change the name to Jihadists?

It's off-season for Weinstein - too early in the year to be suing some town with 35 people for having a manger "downtown."

Wish a Judge would say to this butt clown "Sit down and shut up Mr Whiner. Your anti religious religion will not be imposed on everyone around by decree. You have no right "not to be offened""

Weinstein mis-states the problem. The problem is that we are NOT at war with all of Islam. If we were, this wouldn't be an issue.

So, what did they rename it to? The Daffodils?
We must be PC.

The US is a Christian nation, like it or not. This country welcomed Jews better than any other nation on earth except Israel, and this is the gratitude we get.
This is like inviting someone to your home for dinner as an equal, and then they complain about the Christmas tree in the living room and the pre-meal prayer.
This guy is just another part of the liberal plot to undo America. Sad to see so many Jews roped into such destructive behavior.
