The person interviewed, in the link you provided, is just plain nuts (i.e. brainwashed beyond redemption) and doesn't pose any real threat. Forget about that one.
Some others who engage in disrupting funerals are Stockholm Syndrome victims. They are sick. War (generally) and terrorism (especially) scares them so badly that they will engage in any conduct, including psychologically aiding and abetting the enemy, which they believe may somehow eventually save their own skins.
Many of those who engage in this untoward behavior believe that if they deny the fallen soldiers a hero's funeral; or, martyrdom, they will suceed in discouraging others from fighting for a cause. They are misguided, they are out of date, war is no longer glamorous to us as it is to our enemy. Studies show that soldiers fight and sacrifice their lives for other reasons.
Some seek retaliation against those whom they think are responsible for their own life's difficulties. They are cowards. They know the dead soldiers can no longer speak for themselves.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going; but, the weak get brainwashed, sick, misguided, and cowardly. We probably have more weak willed citizens now than at anytime in our history. The rest of us just have to pass new laws to contain them as they find new ways to disgust us. Those who are conscientious objectors and reputable citizens will find more respectable ways to make their positions known.
