It is not a "valid point".   It is an opinion. 

But even if it WAS a valid point, a company meeting that is also being watched
live over the net is not the place to scream at company executives.  Again,
these idiots deserved to be shouted down, pushed out the door and fired.

And BTW.  If the company you work for is a "war profiteer", then so are you. 
 

That's how stupid these people were. All they had to do is resign quietly. 
They could have maintained their dignity.  But no, they had to prove to the
world that they are dumbasses AND troublemakers.  Good luck getting another
job now.
