An RAF squadron has dropped its “Crusaders” nickname following a complaint it is offensive to Muslims.
14 Squadron, one of the RAF’s longest-serving and most senior squadrons, achieved the moniker after its airmen flew sorties over Gaza and Palestine during the First World War.
Crews have been ordered to remove any references to Crusaders around their hangar after a senior officer upheld an RAF crew member’s complaint insisting the term was insulting - link
In normal circs I would slag off the RAF for being a bunch of woke poofs. But, and I say this with a genuine sense of sadness, I suspect the 'modern' British army are just the same.
