Planned fallen soldier monument

[Xbonz]

in Mich. veterans memorial causes controversy over prominence of gun

A planned monument that would serve as the final piece of a veterans’ memorial in a Detroit suburb has caused controversy over its prominent depiction of a military rifle, the Detroit Free Press reported.

The battlefield cross-- a military helmet adorned with dog tags perched on the stock of an automatic rifle, its barrel pointing downward into a pair of combat boots --has been used by those in active duty as far back as the Civil War to memorialize fallen soldiers.

Hall told the Free Press he approached the village council’s parks and recreation commission about adding the just-over four-foot sculpture of the battlefield cross on a four-foot base. He said was told by some council members that the icon might not be appropriate as a centerpiece for the park.

Brainwashed Liberals?

They have no clue as to the meaning of the Field Cross, probably because they never served in combat, or never served in the military at all. All these peace, love and flowers mental midgets seem to forget that they've been living in La La Land, at the expense of the blood spilled by our military.

Asshats with no frame of reference.

People like that have no familarity with common sense; much less duty, honor, or country.

There ought to be a bounty on 'em.
