Jesse Nieto, a 25-year Marine veteran and father of one of the 17 sailors killed in the 2000 USS Cole terrorism attack, has been banned from driving his truck when visiting his son's grave at the Arlington National Cemetery.
The reason?
Because of displaying this “offensive material":
In fact, his truck has been banned from all federal installations until the "offensive" decals are removed.
And who issued this order?
The Base Magistrate, Camp Lejeune.
Because of 'complaints'.
Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commented:
“The banning of these decals is political correctness run amuck in the military. Our troops are being killed by Islamic terrorists, 9/11 was caused by Islamic terrorists, these terrorists want to destroy America, the Islamic countries persecute Christians, and now the military is victimizing a father whose son was killed by Islamic terrorists while serving our nation.” “I suspect the next thing the Marine command will want to do is eliminate the Marine’s Hymn since the phrase ‘to the shores of Tripoli’ celebrates the Marine victory over Islamic forces in the Barbary Coast War and the Battle of Derne.”

How soon will it be before this decal is banned?
