The folks at Walter Mitty Hunt<\/a> sent us a link to a post over there about how they’re facing the same dilemma folks here in the US faced in March of 2007<\/a> when protesters threatened to desecrate the Vietnam War Memorial which gave rise to the Gathering of Eagles and eventually blunted the effect of anti-war protests. The folks at Walter Mitty Hunt are calling for their members to join them in protecting their own memorials from protesters.<\/p>\n

However, their protesters in the UK are protesting under the guise of opposing defense cuts. From what they tell me, the protests are being supported by the British National Party<\/a> (the BNP), described to me as a “right wing fascist party in the UK”.<\/p>\n

The Mothers of our Fallen have taken these protests and shown them for what they are, downright disrespectful. They have created their own campaign to ensure that our Memorials are not pulled into this blatant power struggle. They do not wish the protests to not go ahead, they are simply asking that the memories of their children, as well as every other fallen hero, are not tarnished by what is no doubt going to be a very messy ordeal.<\/p>\n

As usual, as soon as anyone disagrees with these villains, the abuse and lies are not far behind. Have these mothers not been through enough? Why must they have to endure the spite and vicious stupidity that is these women and their followers?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The politics of the whole thing are a little difficult to follow (I needed some clarification before I wrote this), but it’s an informative read and demonstrates how little the cultural differences are between what our veterans face on opposite sides of the pond. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
