That New U.S. Army Patch With Scimitars is Downright Creepy

The United States Army has created a new patch for soldiers who are fighting ISIS in Iraq.

USA Today reports that “the Army's patch features crossed scimitars, a palm wreath and stars. The scimitars, short swords with curved blades, are meant to symbolize the twin goals of the U.S.-led coalition: to defeat the Islamic State, also referred to as ISIL, and to restore stability in the region, according to Army documents. The palm wreath is symbol of honor. While the stars and the buff-and-blue colors on the patch indicate the three-star command and the land, air and sea forces involved in the fight.”

Sure. Whatever.

AT readers, you be the judge. As featured at Atlas Shrugs, here is an image of the new patch on the right, next to an image of a Muslim Brotherhood symbol on the left.

This IS a huge concern. From social engineering to ridding the military of the best and brightest officers, to aligning ourselves with our enemies...what else will this president do to undermine us and to destroy? He HAS to know God's judgment will come due, because, according to HIM, he is a Christian. I know...please don't shoot me...I'm just relaying what he clearly states. We all know better. I have never seen him practice anything from the Judeo-Christian tenets that would verify his claims, but we are told we must believe him, take him at his word on this. Anyone else would be laughed off the stage, but he is some sort of god, you know. Not THE real God, of course, and this little so-called god will see that in the end, but in the meantime, he is taking America to places we've NEVER been before.

It is way past time to pray, asking God to forgive our national sins and to take this presidency, with all its members, out of office ASAP.

Obama did say the US was a Muslim Nation

[Catmom]

I for one don’t believe Obama is a Muslim. He just doesn’t have the discipline to seriously follow any religion.

I DO believe, however, that he hates western civilization and supports any movement whose aim is to undermine it.

Great, our guys wear the patch, their guys go to Europe?

I am afraid that we have reached this point as a Nation that was dedicated to the LORD at its founding.

Jeremiah 11:14 “So do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry out to Me because of their trouble.
15 “What has My beloved to do in My house, Having †done lewd deeds with many? And the holy flesh has passed from you. When you do evil, then you rejoice.
16 The LORD called your name, Green Olive Tree, Lovely and of Good Fruit. With the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire on it, And its branches are broken.
17 “For the LORD of hosts, who planted you, has pronounced doom against you for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke Me to anger in offering incense to Baal.”

That patch makes it look like our soldiers are Islamic soldiers. The explanation is crap.

I hate Bammy!

So much for being the tip of the sword for our nation - they are now the edge of the scimitar and it ain’t Muslim heads that are in danger from those who proposed such a symbol....

[BuffaloJack]

Why did they use a scimitar? Most other US teams and groups who have swords of some kind in their emblems us cutlasses. Like the SWCC emblem.

Personally, I seriously believe Obama is a homosexual, atheist, Maoist, revolutionary. And his culture is Indonesian moslem. I don’t think he is a devout moslem beyond the way they are united in hate for America.

“soldiers who are fighting ISIS in Iraq”

So there will be 17 patches ever made.

From Pam Geller: "Scimitars to represent the US army? More of the perversity of an Obama presidency.

Traditional army patches before the islamization of the military under Obama:"

[trisham]

He may not be “religious” but he considers himself a muslim, culturally and politically.

[trisham]

Correct.

The guards look like half-swastikas.

If owebama is not a mudslime trying to destroy the USA what would he be doing differently?

[MurrietaMadman]

Discipline is not much needed with Islam; not like the ability to adjust. Being able to adjust is important and nobody or nothing adjusts as quickly as BO except maybe a snake.
