Then tell me what are you saying? All I've heard is one weak-sauce excuse in an attempt to justifying this, and a bunch of baseless assumptions about me.
Obviously you think this is fine, so what do you think the vets who are miffed and are voicing their opinions should do? You obviously think they shouldn't say anything right? They shouldn't be offended right?
What does it mean when you don't think someone should say something?

As for WW2 vets and vets in general, it's not a possibility of them being offended. They are offended. Did you even read about any of this? Here are a couple of quotes from an article.
Tony Hayes, of Veteran’s Association UK, said those left who fought in World War Two “will be appalled by this”.
“I know it’s a film,” Col Richard Kemp, the former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, told the Sun. “But it’s symbolically disrespectful to Churchill. He will be turning in his grave.”
It's not about the film. It's what they're doing to make that film. The film could be a masterpiece and it wouldn't change that vets think it's disrespectful.
And I've said this over and over and over and over. I think they have a right to feel disrespected. I understand why they feel this way.
Obviously you can't or don't care to understand why they're offended.
