My father-in-law, who is a Viet-Nam veteran and artist who has had his work displayed in museums, would be horrified by this.

The idea that you could be disgraced because you are artistically inspired by someone with a bad reputation is ridiculous to the extreme.

I suppose we should hate the artistic work of Van Gogh because he was crazy, or Beethoven because he was a womanizer, or any number of other artistic geniuses because they had some “fault” as described by their contemporary society, just because it is politically expedient to do so…

Poop on the close-minded.
