I have zero sympathy for the consequences befalling the family for their own choices. Of all people, they should have understood the solemnity and sanctity of where they were standing. They were told of the rules, rules they should have known anyway, and they doubled down defending him in that ridiculous letter. In doing so, they disrespected their own fallen kin and the sacrifices made by every soldier living or dead. And that is all before you consider that they did it on behalf of an anti-Amrerican traitor, insurrectionist, and would-be despot.

All that said, it still feels wrong to me to overwrite the text of a gravestone of a fallen soldier. That his family are pieces of shit doesn't mitigate the disrespect.
