Only if done by the government. Notice that the Secretary of Defense

Believe me, I've been there multiple times, and am likely to go back again before too long. I understand very well the sentiments coming across about a public that has largely forgotten about us. But none of us want our families to be hurt more than necessary, and in this case, I still feel their interest should have came first.
As has been said before, a freedom to do something does not make it right.
