It just came to my mind.....
A few years back several veterans groups collaborated to build a veterans' memorial in our local cemetery. It's pretty typical, and pretty nice - an artillery piece, flagpoles, paving stones, benches, and granite plaques with the names of deceased veterans from our town.
We have an acquaintance who is very, very liberal. One day a few years ago she uttered some nasty remark about "them building a monument to war", or something like that. I couldn't believe my ears. First, it is not a monument celebrating war. It is a monument to honor those departed who put themselves on the line so that we can enjoy and live in freedom - even the freedom to make wrong and stupid remarks. Second, she was married to a former USMC officer and was quite proud of it. How mixed up can a person get?
I think it says something about the internal dishonesty and lack of substance shared by many liberals. They can just stay away. They just don't get it.
