Was it that difficult to see?

After years of legal battles, US soldiers who are members of the Wicca religion are finally allowed to have that symbol on their headstone. I have failed to see why the legal arguments were carried on for so long since my untrained eye saw this decision easily. Wicca has been a recognised religion within the US for many years and as such, any military member had the right to be buried with the symbol reflecting that membership on their grave. The only reason I could see for the fight was an objection to the symbol itself, which is a pentacle. This is hardly a legal reason but is instead, based on the connotations some make from the meaning of it. It is nice to see that clearer heads have prevailed finally and a simple matter settled finally.
