Satirical site's mocking of iconic Iwo Jima photo irks Marines, vets. Satire or Dishonor?

We military types see the world through a different lens. Our buddies we couldn't save burns a perspective into our hearts that others can't see or understand. So our memorials have more meaning. We tend to feel that satire related to a profound memorial is a half step away from desecration. That line is very blurry.

That said, I'm not put off by the picture above; it's just poor taste. There's a lot of it going around. I will say I have learned to laugh and look for humor in most everything. That was part of my recovery process. I also feel entitled to take friendly jabs at my fellow military and welcome them back. That one wouldn't be in my library.

Obviously they have never raised a flag when it was windy out!

I find this completely disrespectful. You want to know how many people it took to raise that flag? 70,000...that's how many. And of those, 6,821 made the ultimate sacrifice in order to make it happen. You don't get more sacred than that!

But, some people just don't get it, and likely never will. If you ask me, they're just a bunch of spoiled ass-wipes who've always had everything handed to them.
