Bad taste? Mets to wear Stars and Stripes caps tonight

I want to say that I don’t know how I feel about this, but the look on my face is giving it away.

The Mets are wearing stars and stripes caps tonight to I guess “support the troops” but something about the juxtaposition of the killing of Bin Laden and the timing of this doesn’t feel right to me.

I imagine the Mets’ hearts are in the right place, the Mets salute a service member at every home game I attend, the Wilpons have their initiative with Seaver, and this isn’t a “bust chops” or “complain about uniforms” post…but I dunno…something seems not warm and fuzzy about this one.
