Children climbing on the Vietnam Women’s Memorial. Is this disrespect or innocent fun?

This photo snapped today of children using the The Vietnam Women’s Memorial as a playground fixture has gone viral after Matthew Munson posted it online. It's sparking quite a debate. I find it hard not to get a little fired up about this and believe it has a lot to do with the parents not explaining the proper etiquette & behavior to have around a war memorial.

They are just uneducated children that truly know no better. If I were their parent I would feel like an A-hole. It is the parents job to raise them better, but I would put more blame on the person for taking a picture instead of explaining to these children that what they were doing was wrong.

It is both, the children do not understand the significance of the memorial and the adults should be the ones keeping them off of it. They should rope it off and add a do not climb sign.

They shouldn't need to do that. It never should have happened in the first place, because the children should have been taught how disrespectful something like that is.
