I have said it before, and I'll say it again.

While I can understand that some groups are angry that we are fighting in these countries and they have every right to be so (I personally think it's a good thing we are in at least Iraq if not Afghanistan as well), they should not protest at the sites where the dead soldiers land or are buried. That is disrespectful.

Regardless of the rights and wrongs, the soldiers were only doing what their country asked of them. This should be respected, even if you don't agree with what the country asks.

No, if they have a grievance, they should protest to the Government, who are in a position to change things.
