Though I would not call this front page news worthy, at the same time it's extremely disrespectful from this asshat at the very least.
The monument is literally for those that died to give you the freedoms that you enjoy today. It's somewhat news worthy and hopefully it will shame enough people in giving a little respect where respect is due.
I see this as a similar news item as tourists writing "Kyle was here!" with a marker on some monument and it reminds me of when I just recently visited the Vatican as a tourist where I too saw so many disrespectful people.
I'm a staunch atheist but I can admire the beauty of the art, and I understand the importance the place has for many people. Women entering are asked to wear a scarf over their shoulders if they wear tank tops, etc. So to my surprise, so many women got the scarf, walked in, the just stuffed the scarf in a purse or something because they didn't wanted to wear it.
Agree with it or not, that's fine. But if you enter, show some damned respect. Either wear the scarf or leave. I don't have respect for people that don't respect others
