The tent shelter was set up within a couple feet of the memorial. Maybe its obstruction of the memorial was what they considered disrespectful. In any case it could have been easily solved by the kids simply moving away from the memorial. No reason that couldn't have occurred in deference to the vets wishes. But the "I don't have to move if I don't want to...its a free country" mentality vs the "I fought and my friends died so you could have that right" mentality kicked in and it was on.
