Royal Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Considering the discussions on the course at the JFSC and the kid getting all bent out of shape about not being allowed to wear the flag, I figured this deserved its own thread. Summary: the SQ had been the Crusaders for 50 years, changed to the Werewolves over concern that pictures of Crusaders wouldn't win hearts and minds, changed back to the Crusaders, then back to the Werewolves. http://usnews.msnbc....back-again?lite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 It wasn't their decision... "The deputy commandant for aviation (Lt. Gen. Terry Robling) directed VMFA 122 to maintain the unit identification as the Werewolves... Although some of the complaints were from Marines actually in the squadron. And Mikey Weinstein, you're a douchebag! "This is a great victory. Lady liberty is smiling today," said Mikey Weinstein, president and founder of foundation. "We commend the Marine Corps," he said, but added: "The Marines Corps does not get a gold star for doing the right thing because they shouldn’t have done the wrong thing in the first place."

Bayou_Eagle_Driver Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 "The Marines Corps does not get a gold star for doing the right thing because they shouldn’t have done the wrong thing in the first place." Yea, cause 50 years ago this douchebag would have had the foresight to see that "Crusaders" might be considered PIC by some people in the future. What a fvcking self righteous toolbag.

Prozac Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'm sure the Marines would be very sad about not receiving said 'gold star' if they weren't busy shooting terrorists in the face. Maybe Weinstein should consider focusing more of his efforts on kindergarteners where his gold stars would be so much more appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKopack Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I've got an old VMFA-122 "Crusaders" shirt that I wore on a visit to MCAS Beaufort last year, got a lot of good comments from the squadron members... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 "I don’t know that the Marine Corps could do anything more to fuel the cause of jihad," Weinstein told msnbc.com in April. "It will directly end up costing lives and maiming members of our military." Having a Marine Fighter Squadron named "Crusaders" is totally fueling the fires of jihadism........totally. Weinstein can go F^&K himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagasticks Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 my old squadron, and ironically the commandant of the corps "Tamer" Amos was in the Crusaders same time as me (LtCol at the time), so i am sure he approved of the Crusaders moniker.. I know i'd rather take a JDAM to the face from an airplane with insignia's sensitive to my beliefs... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Does anyone bother reading history anymore? Muslims took over the Holy Lands by force and the Crusades were a reactionary war to retake the lands conquered by the Muslims. The Muslims had the same motivations, yet somehow Crusader is the term that developed the negative interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingBull Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Holy shit. I'm an atheist and usually approve of what the MRRF does. But in this case they have gone completely off the deep end. I'm disappointed the Marines backed off so quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BQZip01 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 YHGBFKM!!! Heaven forbid we go to war allied with Denmark, Finland, Greece, Iceland, Norway, Portugal, Spain, or Sweden since they all have crosses on their flags because that would be somehow endorse the massacre of Muslims centuries ago. That will be the huge difference in the next war. Weinstein, you are a complete waste of skin and oxygen. Get off the planet at the next stop...come to think of it, you should get off before then... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
