There's a  petition started to protect the memory of fallen soldiers. I think it would help to sign it.

The only opinions that matter are those of U.S. citizens. It is our planet. Deal with it.

I want to be bothered by this, but I see it as pretty harmless.

Many things that are disrespectful don't cause actual 'harm', Sardie.  For consistencies sake, how would you react if a movie company etched the names of the characters that die in a war film on the Vietnam Memorial as an advertising stunt?  

How would you feel if a shampoo company made a commercial that digitally manipulated footage of jewish prisoners being herded into a concentration camp shower with bottles of their product?  A commercial where they then had manipulated footage showing the previously crying prisoners coming out of the showers with big smiles and vibrant hair and finishing with a Nazi soldier holding a bottle of the shampoo and saying "Now Juden-CLEAN!" to the camera?

Just because nobody was killed by the ad doesn't mean that it's not tasteless.  The company has the first ammendment right to do that with their advertisement, and I have the same right to be saddened and choose not to purchase their product.

I'm surprisingly the same...perhaps because I have no emotional attachment makes the real difference?
