(Also, I doubt Mennonite Church of Canada members, who are quoted in this article, wanted a “green peace symbol surrounded by weed and smoke haze.”)

The logo is here to stay, so it’s sort of a moot point, but there’s nothing wrong with continuing to have an intelligent discussion about the implications of military imagery. If it’s a dialogue you don’t want to engage, then don’t, but dismissing those who do want to engage it as “wingnuts” and “logo freaks” is pretty far off-base. I don’t agree with some of the points raised, but I can still respect the fact that people are having the discussion.
