Not "moot" at all, the point was that servicemen were to be lauded because they put their lives at risk. Nothing was said about protests af funerals (by religious zealots) or the rest. Interesingly, servicement work for "big evil government" and yet you don't have a problem with their doing so.
servicemen join up to do a job most people would not want to do, and have previously been forced to do under threat of prison. they join up to defend our nation, but they dont get to decide what orders they obey and which they will ignore. thats the prerogative of shitstains who decline the offer to join.
our servicemen are patriotic men who sacrifice a lot to serve. they deserve the courtesy of our respect, not the ignorant hate filled OP's bullshit ranting. dont like the war, blame the politician not the soldier. but then you would have to blame your side too, and thats just wrong in your world.
service members are overwhelmingly conservative, thats who serves, unlike liberals who wish to be served. this means the members of the armed forces are natural targets for your venom, rather than the leftist turds who give the orders. those shits are on your side, so they must be protected from criticism.
service members work for our constitution and swear an oath to uphold it. i hold our constitution sacred, and reject your lame assertion that any who serve the government deserve the OP's hate filled sniveling. your hate-filled sniveling is simply political expedience and calumny.
enjoy your cowardice and self deceit.
