Showing respect at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Lindsey Stone doesn't realize that those Unknown's and the others in Arlington gave their lives so that she has the privilege to mock them!

When she dies, I would be the first to dance on her grave. The scar on my side from a grenade fragment in Laos gives me that privilege.

I encourage this type of behavior. I prefer they self-identify.

Same here. I have a hard time with people who say "thank you for your service" and then turn around and vote for politicians who undermine it at every turn. She let the mask slip, and demonstrated her core values.

I don't live near her but some dude should start dating her, get her to pay off his credit cards, rent for a few months, dinner every night and then a foot in the ass when she asks where this is going.

That's pretty much what happened when she voted for Obama. He's saddling her with debt, and lying about her future.

She was fired... Seems the outrage over the stunt caught up to her.

There should be a special Darwin award category for people that lose their jobs due to complete idiocy.
I suggest she talk to MSNBC, Democrat Party under desk job or spokesman for free unlimited taxpayer financed birth control.
Maybe Jane could use her in an exercise video.

Good. What a dumbass. I wonder what her DU name is???

From what I read, there was outrage on bothsides of the spectrum (as there should be). However there is also calls for her to be left alone. Why? I'll never know...

As what? A jump rope?

[noonwitch]

She's got some disabilities, all right. Mental ones.

Maybe her organization is like the Hair Club For Men-she's the spokesperson and a patient!

Heard back from CW3 Hauger:

As a former 11M It doesn't offend me or any of my peers I've shown this to.
You and I are charged with defending their right to do just this without
fear of reprisal. She wasn't shouting for real and she was not 'flipping
off' the soldiers. She took a picture that I've seen hundreds of soldiers
take similar pictures in front of the Ammo Supply Point sign that says no
open flame pretending to use cigarette lighters. Didn't intend to upset
you, just letting an American citizen know that not everyone finds a joke
offensive all the time.

My reply:

I served at The Old Guard for 4 years...did thousands of ceremonies there
never once saw or heard of such an offensive picture being taken. That kind
of "I've seen others do this stuff" is how photos like the ones at Abu
Ghraib get taken...looking the other way on pictures like this gets us photo
collections like the ones collected by the "kill team" in 5/2 ID.

Laugh at that all you want...but giving photos like that you
mention...civilian or soldier a pass is how it all gets started...baby
steps.

And if you haven't noticed...her employers didn't find it funny. Her and
the person who took the picture are now unemployed.

Funny joke huh?

His retort:

Looks like freedom of speech is no longer so free. Now you and I are wholly
non-productive consumptionist.

And the last word on the subject:

Even free speech has responsibility tied to it.

Don't believe me...go yell fire in a movie theater or talk about having a bomb in your suitcase at the airport.

I mean you SHOULD be able to joke about that...right? Freedom of speech and all?

So would thee panties be in a knot were this joke photo have been taken at the Wicomico Memorial Park?
