I am Jewish, and the Crusades did not treat my people well at all. However, it is a FACT that the Crusades were a reaction to the Muslim conquest of many Christian countries over the course of several centuries leading up to the time of the First Crusade. Though there were many war crimes and excesses during and as part of the Crusades, the bigger historical picture would lead one to understand that it was a defensive series of wars, one undertaken to preserve the religious character of Europe.

As such, even though my people were treated horribly by many crusaders, I have no particular quarrel with the use of that name for either aircraft or artillery pieces, or units within a nation’s armed forces. If the Muslims don’t like it, they can go suck an egg.

This trend started when we let the US Navy start putting pussies in Tomcats.
The navy used to fly Crusader fighters, The Marines had a Playboys squadron had a and now they are the death jesters or something retarded like that. Navy had fighter with the Playboy bunny. The Navy got rid of an attack squadron the Clansmen... (Tartan not white hood)

We can bomb them but not insult them. This is the luxury vanity of a military that hasn’t had a real war in decades.

Decided to check and was pleasantly surprised to see that the Holy Cross Crusaders are still the Crusaders. Hope they remain so.

“I am Jewish, and the Crusades did not treat my people well at all.”

I am a Christian, and they were mean to my people also! They beat down the largest Christian city in Constantinople. Crusaders were rough on everyone. I’m glad for their beat down of islam, but those boys were not always a good day.

And coming soon for the Marine Corpse hymn - To reuse an Obama phrase for Corpsman.

“From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli.”

"Air Force Unit Drops Nickname After It’s Labeled Offensive to Muslims"

The "Crusader" name seems rather apropos, considering the first war America fought outside of the Americas was against Muhammadans, the First Tripoli War, which is where the Marine Hymn gets, "To the Shores of Tripoli."

If there gonna suck up to the Muhammadans, they shouldn't stop there, they should also make the Marines change their anthem.

That's when the Marines got to be called leathernecks.

They find everything about free countries offensive. They want subjugation.

How does it happen that we can no longer celebrate victories against a foreign enemy? The northerners still celebrate their domination over the Confederacy.

Just tell them it’s Teutonic Knight crusaders. Then it’s only offensive to Lithuanians.

According to a news report, a (single) complaint sparked a campaign against the nickname.

Hey Moe that’s not how democracy works.
