Why are certain folks opposing a statue of a Navy SEAL in Littleton, Colorado?

W. Thomas Smith, Jr. has the details.

In a nutshell, some folks are viewing the proposed statue as ‘too violent’ – because the statue is of fallen Navy SEAL Danny Dietz holding a rifle.

There was a suggestion by one resident that instead of a statue, Dietz’s sacrifice deserved a ‘peace dove.’ David Harsanyi responds appropriately to that suggestion.
