In Opera, it is possible to defeat it with swift use of Ctrl+W, but it is easier to just install this User JavaScript, which attempts to automatically detect and disable the Last Measure exploit.

By such things, the feelings of the best citizens will become more or less alienated from it; and thus it will be left without friends, or with too few, and those few too weak, to make their friendship effectual.
At such a time and under such circumstances, men of sufficient talent and ambition will not be wanting to seize the opportunity, strike the blow, and overturn that fair fabric, which for the last half century, has been the fondest hope, of the lovers of freedom, throughout the world.
I know the American People are much attached to their Government; - I know they would suffer much for its sake; - I know they would endure evils long and patiently, before they would ever think of exchanging it for another.

We’ve even had word that these confrontations take place during the little gatherings at military bases the President has with the relatives of the deceased before he goes ahead and speaks to the troops.
It is because they know their loved one was last seen doing good.

 THE LAST FULL MEASURE by Jeff Shaara
The moving story of the tragic trail from the carnage of Gettysburg to the emotional drama of Lee's surrender at Appomattox, The Last Full Measure concludes the masterwork begun more than two decades ago by Michael Shaara, Jeff's father, in his classic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Killer Angels (1974).
But The Last Full Measure is more than a tale of war and battles.
Shaara's great gift, and his stirring accomplishment, is bringing to life these far-distant events and making us understand today why we honor those men who "gave the last full measure of their devotion," in Lincoln's words, that "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

 The Last Full Measure
By chance, his regiment is the lead unit of the Fifth Corps, and when they reach the growing sounds of the fight at Gettysburg, the Twentieth Maine marches to the left flank, climbing a long rise to the far face of a rocky hill known later as Little Round Top.
His is now the last unit, the far left flank of the Federal line, and he is ordered to hold the position at all cost.
The regiment fights off a desperate series of attacks from Longstreet's corps, which, if successful, would likely turn the entire Federal flank, exposing the supply train and the rear of the rest of the army.
