non confrontational protest sign for West Point protest
I am going to protest w.'s speech at the West Point graduation. I will be standing outside of West Point, and all attendees will have to pass by us in order to enter West Point.
I was interested in displaying a sign that would not be too confrontational. Is this possible? Any thoughts or suggestions regarding wording or display?

1. I have ugly memories of the Anti-Abortion protestors at my graduation
Clinton gave the commencement address. During one of the happiest moments of my life, a picture of an aborted fetus was thrown in my face. Not good times.

I'm not sure I like this idea.

2. I think it's do-able
How about something like, "Honor our Soldiers, Use them Wisely". Or, "War as a last resort"?

5. How about something that fits

If people were forced to eat what they killed, there would be no more wars.

6. Something "general" and positive might be the least confrontational.
Perhaps along these lines:

13. How about "Support our Oops?" It's funny but can't really
be said to be anti-soldier. On the other hand, when I display it at our weekly anti-war vigils, it enrages the BFEE supporters.
