Oh. I get it now. "What is bothersome ..." I am not bothered by this stuff, I think it is healthy. Of course exhausting repetition of a complaint that has been answered is another thing.

I see so freedom of speech smacks of disloyalty? Be that as it may, it isn't insulting our fine men in uniform

I understand what you're saying, and am capable of also of "getting mad" at those who seem not to comprehend the crisis nature of our circumstance, the enormity of the crime against us and the magnitude of the continuing threat; but there is a similar feeling of 'perversity' in a situation seen even on SI, in which, in the United States of America, policy dissenters are called "traitors." It is not despicable, when there is a lot of that sort of thing going around, to restate the platitude that we have freedom of dissent, and that the dissenters are called American Citizens Exercising The Rights That Make Our Country America, not "traitors." I acknowledge that I hold as an article of faith that if we don't all think the same thoughts, we should not all speak with the same voice, and that what then emerges as policy will make us strongest longest. And I will also point out that there is a remarkable amount of solidarity in this country now. The dissenting voices are by no stretch of the most fevered imagination shouting fire in a crowded theater.... In any case, to get back to the accusation by CH that Poet had cast aspersions on "our young men... like my son..." I reiterate that it is untrue, and 100% untrue.
