article from Newsday
I wish this were unreal. Ex-military people here will probably appreciate this even more. Heartbreaking, regarless.

Just becaue you're free to criticize those in uniform who hvave to do things you may not approve of doesn't mean you should.

The sweeping "give their blood for freedom" line immediatley followed by what amounts to telling someone to shut the fugg up for freely expressing their opinion doesn't seem the least bit ironic to you?
To each his own.

I still don't see the irony. Unless you are implying that SDJ doesn't have the same right to criticize his fellow citizens.

As I said, to each his own.
And no, I'm in no way implying that SDJ doesn't have the right to criticize. I'm not sure where you're getting that from. I just find the impassioned line about freedom followed by telling someone to shut up because he doesn't like what's said to be ironic. It's o'kay if you don't, it's really no big deal.

Sorry, didn't get the irony either. He didn't tell him to shut up. He said his opinion was worth stevestojan.
