QuoteIn a Monday letter to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation attorney Randal Mathis demanded the outpost to be renamed and the circumstances surrounding its naming be investigated.

"Today's stunning information concerning the base near Kandahar being named 'Aryan' is simply too much to be coincidental," Mathis said in the letter. "Viewing either as trivially inadvertent would be preposterous."

STORY: Panetta seeks probe into Marine photo
The name "COP Aryan" appears with a June 2011, news release on the website of 170th Infantry Brigade Combat Team that announced the graduation of Afghan troops with whom it was partnered from officer candidate school.

Maybe. Could it be the Army and Corps are in cahoots.

Panetta's probably like...WTF, god damn it.

Any bets that the US Miltary will pull an extreme knee-jerk.

What's the big deal, though personally I would have been offended if it were camp 'Ayn Rand'.

Tell that to Penetta. Besides, it doesnt matter if you, me, Berkut, etc......are not offended.

They were obviously doing archaeological digs focusing on the original Indo-European inhabitants of the area.  :sleep:

I think he needs to go the opposite way, actually.

I've been visiting gun collecting forums a lot recently, and I think that helped put me in the proper frame of mind to get your meaning the first time I read it :P
