    Odd

    Setting aside the notion of the appropriateness of spending tax dollars and this kind of thing, I think the artist here is barking up the wrong tree.

    The players aren't the ones who started the war. He should be harrassing politicians, not the poor soldiers who have been there and have had to endure killing and death.
