According to the AP, even the names of military operations are now offensive to the antiwar gang:

Families of fallen soldiers and Marines are being told they have the option to have the government-furnished headstones engraved with “Operation Enduring Freedom” or “Operation Iraqi Freedom” at no extra charge, whether they are buried in Arlington or elsewhere. A mock-up shown to many families includes the operation names.
The vast majority of military gravestones from other eras are inscribed with just the basic, required information: name, rank, military branch, date of death and, if applicable, the war and foreign country in which the person served.
Families are supposed to have final approval over what goes on the tombstones. That hasn’t always happened.

As evidence, the AP produces one family, the McCaffreys, who have already aligned themselves with Cindy Sheehan and her protest. For them, this is another way to attack the military, and for the AP, it’s another way to promote the antiwar cause. The number of news organizations that picked up this story is astonishing.

I didn’t expect tombstones to become chess pieces in the antiwar movement’s game, but I guess nothing’s out of bounds. Next thing you know, these protesters are going to insist that the tombstones say things like “No One Died When Clinton Lied” and “Talk to Cindy.”

UNREAL: I was joking when I wrote the last sentence, but if this report is true I wasn’t too far off. I want to doubt it, though. Carrying signs that say, “Maimed for a lie” outside an Army hospital? I really want to doubt it.
