I still have literally no idea why anyone's "feelings" come into the equation at all... But anyway. If she was genuinely doing it knowingly to prove some sort of "point" then yes, the timing was poor. However if she simply didn't realise that it would be an issue (which it shouldn't be, having a problem with it IS immature, but I can appreciate that war vets are generally old enough to still be suffering the aftereffects of the Victorian era) then I don't see the need for demonising or suggesting that she did anything "wrong". Again, what's worse at a remembrance service? A baby being fed in a completely normal way, or a hungry baby crying and disrupting the entire thing?
And if the solution is to suggest that babies shouldn't be there at all... Then in my opinion, the entire point of remembrance becomes an absolute sham. Remembrance is about remembering that men gave their lives supposedly to defend *freedom* ... If people's strange and misplaced values and inability to think of a nipple as anything other than genitalia still result in pointless oppression, then what on earth was the point of any of it?
