Heres The Controversial Sign The Army Was Forced To Take Down Because It Was Offensive Recently, the Army Times reported that the U.S. Army recruiting office in Phoenix has just taken down a sign reading On a mission for both God and country after the message sparked controversy. According to reports, the public outcry likely originated with a post on the Daily Kos by Mikey Weinstein, president and founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. Weinstein claimed the sign was an in-your-face, proselytizing, U.S. Army officially approved recruiting poster. Get this U.S. Army and get it well, Weinstein wrote, The United States armed forces may surely fight and kill for Country and our legitimate national security interests. But our troops do NOT fight and kill for ANYONEs God or related supernatural deity. According to a spokesman, the sign up went up without consent from the recruiting officer command staff, and that they would not have approved the message had they been shown it previously. What do you think? Was this sign offensive?
