Ok with the passing of this individual how would you feel if one or more of your Soldiers decided to protest his funeral?

That may brief well, and I appreciate your honesty and candor, in a true honest manner. Yes he was an American and what you said about them being within their rights etc, but hopefully that church and their beliefs will die away as well so that future families of the fallen will no longer have to listen to their gibberish b.s. beliefs while saying good bye to their loved ones. Will it go away, meh, probably not just because they will want to still prove something, but hopefully they will. As with most situations where a leader dies, the next in line will surely pick up the flag and drive on... we shall see.

SFC Stonebreaker,
I agree that we should not celebrate his death and, like you, I believe that he was only exercising the rights that our service granted him. Unfortunately, the way he exercised those rights is an afront to my beliefs and, given the recent legislation on hate crimes, ALMOST illegal (some of the protests he arranged got violent). I will not celebrate but I think the world is a better place without him.

As much as I despise what he stood for and what his "church" was responsible for, two wrongs do not make a right...
