Protesters?

Question

I would like to know why protesters think they have the right to desicrate our soldiers by protesting at their funerals, or protesting any soldier at any time? honest answers, please!

I would like some answers from these people who protest funerals.

just so everyone knows i was and always will be a soldier, and if I'm at one of my Army brother's funeral and there are protesters there it would not be a good day.

Answer 1

They don't care about the soldiers, they care about their own agenda.

Answer 2

I feel they have NO rights to be at a funeral protesting.......that is the most disrespectful thing a person can do....next to robbing graves. These people who protest there..have no regards for others, the families of the fallen soldier/cop.......
There are other ways to protest....but a funeral is not the place to do it.....
Soldiers are not trained killers, its like saying a police officer is a trained killer........they are not......
they do their duty, to protect and serve.....which is what they are doing......
they protect America from their enemies, and serve their country so the morons who protest at these events can do that without getting shot.......
if they were trained killers, do you think these protesters would be showing up at a military funeral.......where there are weapons....i really dont think so...
just a bunch of delusional fanatics....with nothing better to do but to put down the people who keep them safe.......
very sad of them in my opinion

btw 43-------there is a marines funeral in Kirksville Missouri tomorrow that protesters plan on attending....that is a fact....
Bikers are showing up to protest the protesters.....

Answer 3

I don't believe people protest at soldiers' funerals to desecrate the soldiers. They are protesting the illegal and unconstitutional war Bush has put us into; a soldier's funeral is the most grievous symbol of that obscene war. The irresponsible actions of the Bush administration has killed more than 2,500 U.S. soldiers (not to mention tens of thousands of Iraqis) for no justifiable reason, other than Bush wanted to 'finish' what his daddy started during Desert Storm and Dick Cheney wants all the OIL swimming underneath Iraq's sands.
Our military fighting team is the best in the world, but it is being used and exploited for the benefit of Dick Cheney and a few of his oil-drenched demonic friends. Surely Satan has reserved a special corner of Hell for these evil, corrupt, gruesome sub-humans. Surely God Almighty has reserved a special section of Heaven for all the soldiers who had to die to satisfy the whims of nefarious dotards like Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld, who seem to believe that they're allowed to take whatever they want from the rest of the world if they've got more guns, ammo, and weapons of mass destruction.
The American soldier deserves to be honored for his heroic work.
As Don Rumsfeld once said at a news conference when asked about the consequences of the Iraq war: "Stuff Happens". THAT desecrates the American soldier and is the height of disrespect, arrogance, and pompous, unmitigated hubris. Don Rumsfeld should be on the front lines of the Iraqi battles leading the charge for what he apparently believes in; only trouble is, he's the kind of coward that would only face the fire for a few minutes before requiring a change of underwear. -RKO-

Answer 4

Some people have no respect for anyone living let alone the dead.
I think that if they persist in this that there should be a clause in the law to let the families of the soldiers shoot the people sight on seen.
No Ifs no ands and no buts about it.
These people have lost a child a mother a father or a brother or sister. They do not need any more grief than what they are already experiencing.

Answer 5

Have you ever seen this?

I'm asking because I have protested for more than 40 years and never once seen what you described.

I protested when the department of labor wanted to make churches pay the choir for singing.

I protested when the US made the Catholic church a Nation and appointed a diplomat to the Vatican.

I protested for living wages. on and on because it is or constitutional right to protest the things that concern us.

Never saw a funeral protest. or a Soldier protest.

Answer 6

Hey coming from a family of military people if you ever God forbid have to go to a funeral for a fallen hero, You can contact me. I have seen the signs saying "God hates you" Thank God for IED's. When some one in my small town lost their son the whole town showed up and surrounded the funeral with people holding up the American flag so those protesters couldn't see any thing. I think they are cowards standing being their rights. No one they want to hold on to their rights so badly. They can't be jailed for being stupid. I don't care if they do call themselves Americans They aren't MY Americans.

Answer 7

Most don't realize that the soldiers and families of fallen soldiers are taking it personnally. They are there to protest against the war and to show what happens to young men and women when they go off to war. When I was in the Navy at a Nuclear Missle Sub Base they always protested outside the gates and it pissed me off to no end cause I thought that they were protesting against the soldiers and sailors there but when I was stuck in traffic one morning(caused by the protesters) I talked to them and they told me what was up.

Basically Dont take it personnaly

Answer 8

Well,their lives have already been desecrated it the first place.

If lost someone, even in this immoral war, I would not want the funeral to be disrupted. I would probably ask to protesters to join with me mourning another unnecessary loss, but protesting by wearing ribbons or something in that order so that the solemnity of the proceedings will not be disturbed.

Answer 9

From infancy and beyond we protest about everything. We may dislike a certain food, a certain beverage, a certain type of toy, music, homework, how people treat us,,etc. We all have our likes and dislikes. Depending how we have been raised, we may be more concerned with what is right than with what is wrong. We protest in our own ways against our parents, teachers, authority figures, friends or enemies.that is what makes us all unique. I do not believe though in protesting at a funeral. Why that supposed Christian Church did that is beyond me. I had a brother who was serving in the Army during the Vietnam War. Yes, I protested against that war as often as I could. I never heard anyone call my brother a baby killer until he came home from Nam, and the people who calle him that were not protesters but older men that had served in the military in a previous war. I marched and protested against the Iraq War long before it started. I learned from WW2 vets, Vietnam vets,etc. what they really felt about the war that they had fought in. I was told horror stories from vets at the veteran hospitals. My brother upon his return from Vietnam told me that many GI's knew that they weren't there for the people, but for the War Profiteers. A WW2 vet that I have talked with told me that they were protecting trees for the Palmolive Company. I've had the good fortune of talking with different young men, returning from or on leave from Iraq and Afghanistan. The majority really don't want to be there and tell me there own horror stories. I had a Marine break down and cry about being there. You can believe what you like but I can guarantee you that most don't want to be there and feel as if this administration has taken advantage of them. Even the veteran's from various wars are angry and disgusted. They know what these young men and woman are going through. So, please understand why in fact mothers, fathers, grandparents,son's and daughters, aunts and uncle's, teachers and preachers are marching against this WAR ON TERROR..Not to degrade our wonderful soldiers; but to show the powers that be that we wish to have things solved in a peaceful way if possible. Not by war and brutality. Not by the killing of our youth that have just as many dreams as all of you. Good jobs, nice car's, lovers, friends, enjoyment, marriage, children and life. As I previously said protests at funerals are wrong. Goodness, it's bad enough to lose someone you love and have the knowlege that they suffered in pain, yes it hurts to be killed. Then as they lay dying with no one really there to comfort them, I'm sure there thoughts flood with memories of home as they agonizingly slipaway.. Then to have people who are supposed to be compassionate because of their supposed Cristianity do what they did is the worst that one can do. Protest funerals NO Protest for Life YES

Answer 10

I suppose they do have the right, though in poor taste. They're also protected by other laws that prevent the justified *** beating they should recieve from such a cold hearted and tasteless display, although I'm still sure that many authorities would have the tact to overlook such an appropriate response upon somebody taking such deplorable action.

Answer 11

Some see soldiers as trained killers. I personally think you need to be slightly mentally ill to actualyl want to go out and kill people but thats me. The Anti-war coalition, which im a part of, protest at funerals to make a point. We dont want more people dying, ours or theirs.
