Well I will say this about Matthews...His father was a Master Sergeant in the Marines. His brother was also a marine and was killed working as a private defense contractor in Afghanistan after serving for 10 years.
Plenty of decent people have stupid relatives. Their actions have no bearing on him.
ETA: He's the stupid relative if that isn't clear.

What I'm saying is that Matthews as two immediate family members who served, his father being career military. Based on some of the interviews he's had, I don't think he would be doing this if his family members who serve felt disrespected. Again, I don't agree with his decision, but if he's willing to sacrifice his career over it, then he'd be showing that he actually has conviction in his protest. I can respect people who do this without having to agree with them.
