While, say, the outright cruel attacks by some anti-Vietnam protestors to returning vets was unhelpful, I don't see why I should celebrate people who are fighting wars of conquest for the sake of oil. I don't think they're bad people, and understand that they probably imagine they are fighting to protect our freedom, but I think, if anything, I do them a disservice by honoring their violent actions, however well-intentioned they may be.
