In the U.S. everyone has a right to their opinions as guaranteed in our Constitution. The Constitution doesn't say they have to be right. It also doesn't say that just because you can beat someone up means you are more right than they are.

I believe there is another quote useful to this widely-divergent thread: "I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend unto death your right to say it."

I know it was Voltaire. Don't know if I got it perfectly correct.
I completely support the right to speak your mind, regardless of whether or not I agree with what's said. I'm simply suggesting that folks grow a spine and take their gripes straight to their target, rather than sitting safely behind their computer keyboards. Our soldiers back up their support of our country with their lives. I wonder if those with anti-soldier sentiments have the same courage.
