What this pillock Phelps and his followers fail to realize is that a military force of any country is an instrument of the government of that country. The military is not asked if it feels like going to war, it is ordered to do so. So why not take his protest to those whom are responsible for sending those soldiers - the government.
Protesting at a funeral in front of grieving relatives is absolutely gutless and despicable. Not very smart either - it certainly wouldn't win them any allies, as opposed to the more productive path of taking their protest to the seat of government.
Maybe Phelps et al do in fact realize this, and so took the easier option of berating the realtives at the funeral.
Hats off to the bikies though
A little "contact counciling" wouldn't have gone astray methinks
