OK - So what about the Guardian Angel ice sculpture? I have seen that image on apparatus. The angel is a religious symbol. Anyway the story said that the department bought the truck as a demo, so it already had the mural on it. If they paid to have the mural removed, someone would find fault with that. It is becoming a sad commentary on the state of our society where a perceived religious image can cause such a controversy, however someone can blast music full of expletives, talking about beating women and killing cops in a public area where there are families and children and that is considered acceptable. IMO - bottom line, I don't care what religion you are, what race you are, what sex you are, what sexual orientation you are, as long as you have my back when it starts getting hairy because I will still have yours.

I also am not a "PC" person, however those people being critical have never seen the things or performed the duties that we have. There are basically 2 things that help us keep our sanity - a really warped sense of humor and some kind of faith. I would be willing to bet that if a firefighter is Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Atheist, or whatever; they would not have an issue with it.
