Brad portrayed the anti-war protesters, no matter how orderly or polite, as personally afflicting the bereaved, but since it's a little play or parable its dishonesty can't be exposed: we already know it's fiction. So, cutting to the chase, I wanted to know what those who opposed the war were _supposed_ to do, other than shut up or die. I was inviting some exercise of the Categorical Imperative, perhaps. In any case, no result.
As my complaints have been answered, basically, "I know you are, but what am I" in best grade-school fashion, I won't pursue the issue.
