A subset of Christians is the only group that has publicly stated so? Is this subset running the V.A.? Nobody has made that connection in the quoted article, so it's an unfair assumption until the subset claims responsibility, The V.A. places blame, or a third party can provide proof.

I maintain the V.A. is just being asshats until somebody can prove there's an agenda behind the decision. The leap from suspicion to accusation needs proof.

That said, we're off on a tangent.

I originally questioned the statement that the V.A. call themselves Christian, or even believe they are. I still do.

You may know what's going on behind the scenes but I don't. I can only speculate and that's not enough to make accusations.

I think this line's mostly filler.

Apparrently. At least the headstone-symbol-choice part of the V.A.
