A trainable young person and a teachable moment have been squandered by the uproar.  

Social media IS the problem here but not on the girl's side of the camera.  It's all the assholes in the world wanting to be Bill Murray so they can get THEIR 15 minutes.

Facebook is evil. Not for what it exposes you to, but for what it entices out of the unsuspecting.

Human nature was just the same as it is now as it was back in 2003 when there was no Facebook.  Facebook didn't invent being an asshole.  I can speak from personal experience, I was an asshole for decades before then.

if they don't want smiling tourists taking pictures, then institute a no picture rule and post guards to enforce it.



most people will smile when snapping a picture.  




I'm quite sure if she had not been smiling, someone would bitch about her looking bored at a major historical site.




people need to chill the fuck out

Outrage over a teenage girl smiling in a picture.

Further proof that a few crackpots are still capable of leading retards into a "burn the witch!" frenzy. In 2014.

There's an irony in there. Somewhere.

It’s the same thing you run into at Arlington and the tomb of the unknown..... Some kids and even adults just don’t grasp the gravity of it.

It's hard to beat them up for lack of respect when they just dont get "it".

She is a teenager, I wouldn't do it but I don't see any malice or ill intent in the picture or in her own quotes. It'd be one thing if she were doing the gangster thing middle finger to the camera and all but fucks sake she's taking a picture of herself in a profound place she'll probably never get to visit again.

Political correctness run completely amok.  Social media running it's typical sordid course.

The irony here is that many of the same people who get butt-hurt about this photo are likely ready to throw the current jewish nation, Israel, under the bus for what is happening now, and not even realize their hypocrisy.

So it is wrong to take a picture at Arlington when someone is smiling?

Shit! My son's Boy Scout Troop visited many years ago and took a group picture and some of the boys have smiles on their faces.

Then there are the pictures my son took in Iraq where a few of the Cav Scouts had smiles on their faces.  I can assure you they were involved in serious business before and after the pictures were taken.  Were they showing a "lack of respect"?   I don't think so.

Then there are pictures taken at Dal To in November of 1967 that I have.  The two soldiers were holding a M-16A1 and had a grin on their faces because the guy taking the picture was joking about something.  Go to Google and look at the casualties at Dak To if you want to know how serious that was. I guarantee you that was no "lack of respect" for anything when that picture was taken.

Later in life, after she has matured, and acquired more knowledge, she will remember that visit, and have more appreciation. (one would hope)
