Lindsey Stone Fights Arlington Cemetery Photo Backlash

Lindsey Stone is a pig.. I'm not sure who would hire someone like that but don't ever expect me to do business with you.

As a Vietnam veteran this organization needs to take a long look at who they hire and their particular ideology,I can't believe this is just a comment of no meaning as I find this type of ideology within a number of people coming from non-profits. If I was a donor discontinuing my giving to this organization would be appropriate!

As for these two Employee's and representative of this state/federal license non-profit they need to be terminated and not rehired under any circumstances. My tax dollars pay for the administering of these non-profits. I've spoken to individuals from some of these organizations in the past and find them far left of center even quasi militancy toward the military.

This is just another reason why I give to military organizations and the salvation army

you must like censorship and our lack of free speech also I had uncles who defended this country cousins and nephews also defending this country but I also believe in free speech no matter how rediculous it my seem to people

Don't try to defend your stupid actions. Just admit you made a mistake, say your sorry and move on. Defiance will get you nothing in this case. There are other ways to 'challenge authority' that don't disrespect others, especially those that made the ultimate sacrifice with their lives. You may not have intended it that way, but perception is what matters, not your intent.

She may exercise her freedom of speech rights; however, the very sign she stood next too requested "silence and respect" on ground that is considered sacred to those who served, gave their lives and their loved ones. Her total disregard and disrespectful behavior is not excusable and certainly not comparable to her previous posting of smoking next to a "no smoking" sign. It just reinforces the despicable person that she is.

The "silliest of things" ? and "obviously we meant no disrespect?" So the writer thinks so little of Arlington, the final resting place of meny of our nations heros and the "ladies" (and I use that term loosly) have No respect at all? How very sad, I wonder who raised these three to be so callous! Their words and actions are disgusting to any real American!!

I believe as an adult she should know the difference between silliness and offensive behavior. There is a place for silliness but not in a cemetary meant to honor the men and women who have died for our country.

This photo is not just the normal offensive, The Tomb of the Unknown is sacred ground as well as the rest of the cemetery. If she wants to go around and "challenge" authority find but not here. Her "challenge" of authority also says something about the kind of person she really is.

Lindsey Stone must of had to much drugs to thrink straight. Lindsey should face living in a another country for her actions.

This is offensive, and disrespectful to those souls seeking eternal rest and peace at Arlington. They earned that right. They deserve much better. You want to make a statement like that take it to the Whitehouse or Capitol.

Fire them! In a hallowed cemetery such as Arlington, follow the rules and respect where you are. She set a poor example and then had the stupidity to put it on Facebook. Sheesh! I know people who have not been hired for jobs because of what they posted on Facebook, no matter how qualified they were for the jobs. If you don't want it out there for the world to see, don't do it, and if you do, don't post it in a public domain such as Facebook.

This is the reason the right to free speech is disappearing in this country, also we no longer have the right to stand up against the goverbment without reprocussions she should have her job back and people need to learn that we all have a right to show how we feel about censorship and right to free speech.

to think she thought it was funny, shows her disrespect for our service men and women

Although I cannot believe she did this, the brave souls laid to rest in that hallowed ground fought and died to give her the right to do this, quite ironic!
Tony,

the people that GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR HER did not think it was silly when they went to war what right does she have to do that she should be fired from her job joking or not very heartless and s far as her smoking by a no smoking sign that is a compleatly stupid thing to bring up men and women have died for this country and she has the gall to compare that to smoking

Tell this moron that disrespecting our honored dead is not funny,the men and women who rest there are some of our best and brightest,some gave there lives so we can live free,but in the America that I served(Marine Corps)free speech is still allowed,even for morons.

Why do people think thay have to post everything thay do on facebook? As if anyone cares in the first place As what she did was in poor taste it,s not something that she should loose her job over . her empolyer should not be looking at facebook in the first place, that,s none of there buisness in the first place.

distgusting,immature,is there no place that is scacred? ironic,that these people died to give this piece of crap the right to disgrace and mock their final resting place!!!!!

Douchebaggery and idiocy are freedoms earned by those lying in those fields. Employers also have rights to fire those in their orgs that reveal themselves as such. An employer struggling to keep a company afloat in the current "new normal" can't afford to keep an obvious moron on the payroll

Private business should be able to fire her for anything they want.

Absolutely, who needs job security? Am I right? idiot.

you should be sentenced to a war zone after traing mandatory 3 years when you ? if you can pass drug testing

Those people fought and died for her to have the right to do those things. So by whining and moaning about being offended, you dishonor the sacrifice of your fellow countrymen. Those people are dead and don't care, so stop being fools and dismissing that sacrifice because you're offended by ill thought antics that harm no one. Move on.

Shockingly bad judgement is normally cause for termination in the private sector.

How ironic the people she is disrespecting, defended her right to say it,some with their life! One can only hope, with maturity comes the intelligence to appreciate the sacrifice of others and to know when something is not funny at the expense of someone else!

The funny thing about her right to say what she said,is her employers right to dismiss her for her immature unintelligent behavior and poorly thought out actions!
