I don't think there is any maliciousness on the part of the VA in refusing to chisel a Wiccan symbol on a headstone. In actuality, I'd more likely believe that they're terrified of offending others who might not understand what the Wiccan symbol is about and won't want to have to defend themselves. I'd be even more willing to believe that if you asked 100 VA workers, 99.995 of them don't even know that Wicca is a recognized and protected religion. Hell, I bet 99.995 percent of ANY group of people are unaware of it.
The VA is one of the most incompetent bureaucracies in existence and has never, ever been accused of fighting tooth and nail for the rights and benefits of veterans.
