I don't believe her position is the majority either, but you can't just assume it is in a news article.

This article uses BOTH some and many to describe the number who oppose Sheehan.

That is good enough for me, and it is exactly what I would have done. I would never write "most" unless I have some statistics and polls of military families to back me up.

Polls are pretty flimsy IMHO. Objective reasoning and a commitment to the values associated with it are, at least IMHO, a better fuel.

But that's just my opinion...you are certainly entitled to your own in such a matter without any rancor from me over it.
