As such, they deserve nothing but respect. If the Muslims had a grievance, they should have protested to those in charge..

Yea, spot on.

It is offensive, but in my view, not to the same extent.
My loyalty, is to my family & my country. Not to religion, or any other group. The men who defend our country are the finest people we have. They put their lives in danger so we can sleep at night. I hold no other group in higher esteem. When anyone, insults our forces, they insult me. I have been there & worn the T shirt out. Good men, fine men, have died for us, all of us, & we should acknowledge that, & anyone who openly insults our forces on the streets should be shipped off to a third world country, to see what happens to people, who dont have the right to free expression.
