Um, kids do tend to play. Don’t they.

Is it a little Mexican? Looks like it in the pic.

I will cut some slack for the kids. They are probably too young to know better, but their parents should have taught them to respect older people and war memorials. Where are the parents?

What do kids know without supervision?

That ‘vet’ doesn’t seem too pleased.

If I had been there I would have done to those little butts what the parents probably failed to..

Nice to see some joy out of such an ugly piece of history.

The statue seems to be inspired by The Pieta, an iconic pose of Mary with an adult dead Jesus figure sprawled prone over her lap. Children will play, and the parent may not have even known the story of this particular piece. If you are creating a 3D sculpture to stay outside, you have to plan for such possibilities of rough handling.

Wrong. I’m not furious. Therefore everyone is NOT furious about it

If you could ask the deceased from Vietnam about it, they’d probably laugh and say it’s fine.
Kids do tend to play on statues.

Respectful kids, even young ones, would know it’s not a toy.

Depends. If you were there, you’d have been part of the best young men this country has ever put together.
Conversely, if you’re our age and you didn’t go, you’re useless.

Just about every time I go to Gettysburg I see this kind of behavior. The parents seem oblivious.

Yup. And they will do things right after their parents tell them not to.
