While it's tasteless and tacky, I think banning them altogether is a terrible idea. It would set a precedence that could possibly lead to the bannings of vocal demonstrations at other events and locations. Remember this is no less than stopping people from speaking out against the military, which, while I don't agree with their methods, shouldn't really be disallowed. How long would it be before someone says that it's working great, and should be expanded to include political gatherings or something of the like?
The response I like from the other side has been to get together a group of people SUPPORTING the fallen soldiers during the ceremony and drowning out the protestors...again, not necessarily supporting the war, but the soldiers themselves.
