I'm not a fan of the Iron Cross - reminds me of the Luftwaffe, SS, and Wehrmacht. Mix the Iron/Knights Cross with barbed wire and it looks like a concentration camp theme. I'm not a PC kind of person, so don't take me as being overly critical. Your intended meaning may be far from how it MIGHT be received.
I notice bikers have adopted it and think it looks cool. It dates back to Prussian times, but later became synonymous with a militant Fascist-driven army that invaded and murdered people like the Czechs, Poles, etc. Thankfully, the US army now has Germany on a leash where they belong.
