The Army Recruiting Command is in full retreat from an “unauthorized” poster bearing the phrase “On a mission for both God and country” outside a Phoenix recruiting station.

The Army Times reports:

The poster, which features a Special Forces patch along with Ranger, Airborne and Special Forces tabs, includes “a stock image” the command makes available for local recruiters, spokesman Brian Lepley said in an email, “but the text was changed by the local recruiting personnel” and not cleared by command headquarters.

“Had the process been followed, the copy shown would not have been approved,” Lepley tells the paper.

An atheist group celebrated their victory.

“The Military Religious Freedom Foundation is delighted that the Constitution has been adhered to by the U.S. Army Recruiting Command,” Mikey Weinstein, the president of the group, said after the poster was removed.

“But whoever, in any way, shape or form, allowed that poster to be designed, prepared and displayed, those individuals should be aggressively investigated and very visibly punished.”

Weinstein added it was a “stunning, unconstitutional disgrace” and derided it as the “Poster of Shame.”

He brought attention to the poster on the far-left Daily Kos website, which ultimately led the Army office to retreat from the poster.
