The problem that a lot of you seem to miss is the sort of reaction that happened last time.
You people voiced an opinion and I tried to disagree.
My disagreeing did not start any sort of intellectual disussion whatsoever.
All that happened was that I was branded as a narrowminded, dumb idiot and that I should stick my opinions up my butt.
If freedom of speech means freedom to agree with the nationalists and military fanatics, then I don't need it.
That's what happened in England around 1914 and in Germany in 1935 and in USA way back when the native Americans were designated the aggressors.
Also in Vietnam where the vietnamese farmers were also the aggressors against poor little USA.
I feel for all Vets who have realised - honestly - what they were fighting for.
Their country that they were permanently maimed for has courageously ignored them ever since.
Please think a bit about all that before anyone starts saying that I limit freedom.
