I’m the last person in the world who supports the “touchy feely BS” you mention. If you can’t show some respect for the solider in that picture without mocking him with that caption beneath his image, that’s your problem.
You need to get over it. There was no disrespect shown, and certainly not intended, toward that soldier. How in hell can you take that attitude? I don’t have a dog in this fight between the two of you but you need to give it a rest.
