Is it OK to say "I told you so" at a militry funeral for a dead soldier killed in Iraq?

I belong to the American Legion and we are going to a military funeral this Sunday and I want to say to the war supporters "I told you he would die being so Gung Ho". Should I gloat? Should I thump my chest? Should I say "He will be forgotten like the Vietnam dead Vets? What do you think I should do?

Since he oledi dead, is too late now to tell him how stupid he was. .. just pretend to respect and keep ur mouth shut.


Dead Fox
Don't!

Look he's dead. I don't care if u care or not but look... death is something that hurt a lot of people... I don't think anyone needs this. I don't care at all if u disagree with me. I don't care if u feel you should say this. For his family, whom is already greaving... just be a GOOD PERSON and don't!

And you're in the American Legion?

Show some respect. He died so you wouldn't have to.

It's a funeral, for goodness sakes.

I doubt if you are really an American Legion member, since the American Legion are supporters of our troops and our military and they support and understand the need for the war in Iraq.

So if you really beleive this, don't go to the funeral and turn in your American Legion Card

And how is that suppose to help the grieving family? This is not about you. Stop your gloating in the face of the misery of others.

Are you nuts? My instincts tell me you are a nut job just trying to tick people off. IF this is a real question...of course you shouldn't say anything, actually you shouldn't even go. What a loser to even think of such a thing!

If it were my kid laying there dead in the casket and you said something like that, you'd be laid out in another casket.

What a shitty thing to say.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

stay quiet, do not say this, he is gone, pray for his afterlife

Sure, go ahead and be an ***. I'm sure everyone there will more than appreciate your attitude and observations. Just what kind of appreciation you will get is open to question although I'm pretty sure it won't be positive. So, if you want to make enemies and influence people the wrong way, have at it.


Hollynfaith
Keep your damn mouth shut...apparently you fail to realize he died fighting for your right to have that freedom.

You don't have to support the war you ignorant b a s t a r d. But you have an obligation to support your soldiers. And why thump your chest? Why gloat? Are you that proud to be this stupid?

NO!, were is your sense of humanisim.

For goodness sakes...the poor young lad(or lass, you didnt specify) has died, his family and friends are in grief...and you want to say to them in their face, at the last time they will see his face ever again, that the poor soul was a fool and will be forgotten?

He/She may be forgotten by people like you, no doubt about that cruel truth... but his/her family and friends (who in the end is all that will really matter for that poor soul) never will forget who he was to them.

If you have problems with the war that is fine by me...but in the name of everything rational and decent dont you dare cause more grief and pain for that poor family by gloating your heart off.

Better yet...dont go to the funeral if you do not want to pay respects...just torture us instead with your rantings (we are alive, we can take it, and we can fight back anyhow)...

..Your going straight to Hell when you die

I doubt you "belong" in the American Legion. You may pay dues, but your attitude is counter to the Legion's established views.


retrodragonfly
No because I doubt he'll hear you. Also I'm sure he'll tell God this
so when you die God will send you straight to hell.

How can you be so hateful to the family?
They might agree with you that it wasn't a good idea to go
but now they have to live with the death.

Would you want someone telling you that your childs death was in vain when you are trying to live with the pain of their death?

some time it's best to keep your mouth shut
pay your respects , pray for the dead and have a beer for those still out in the sh1t .....

Remember, we have a volunteer army. No one was forced to sign up. It is a funeral and you must show respect. It is not about you or your opinions. It is about the dead person and his friends and family. If you make a scene, I hope someone beats the crap out of you. If you made a scene at a funeral of someone close to me, you would regret it. There is a time and a place for things. Funerals are not one of them.

I think that you should work on decorum. I am finding it hard to believe that you are a veteran. I something would of happened to you would you appreciate someone yelling I told you so to your parents of you ? Would it heal any injuries? What good can come out of you being so blatantly rude.


Chris
I think you should stay home and allow the family that is mourning their loved one some peace.

You should seek therapy. You should stay away from the funeral. You should spend less time drinking at the American Legion Post. We are building a memorial to the Veitnam vets here. Maybe you could quit complaining and get off your old axx and do something about it? I have not walked a mile in your boots so I will not judge you. Since you belong to the American Legion I know you have served our country and I respect you for that. Say a prayer for the fallen soldiers family, all of the other soldiers on active duty, and most of all for our leaders. These are difficult times for all of us and I do not blame you for your bitterness. We should be doing more for our soldiers.

How can you belong to something that you don't believe in?
Why can't you see things from others point of view?
At least he put his life on the line for something that he believed in, can you say the same? Are you brave enough? Can you put anything ahead of yourself enough to die for it? No I am not about to call you any names because I really don't think it would matter to you anyway. Just remember there may come a day when someone that you love (I mean more than yourself) has died how would you want people to act towards you and your love one?
