Oh, good Lord, that's just ridiculous! If someone is brave or stupid enough to volunteer to give up his life for this country, they should put whatever the hell he wants on his tombstone! He died for the freaking USA! The least the damn American government can do is display the symbol of his faith, whatever it might be. I don't care if he was a goddamn cock worshipper, put a stone stiffy on the guy's grave and let him have some peace. And if someone wants to complain about it, let them go volunteer to die for the country!
Christ, talk about fucking insensitive bastards!
