Some of you guys want to punish these guys for dishonoring the troops?
I'm sorry, it's called freedom of speech. You know, that amendment that says you can say anything you want? It also coincides with the right to bear arms, in csae of a corrupt government take over. Speaking out and fighting against a corrupt government is what we Americans are supposed to do in certain situations. It's jus tthat these people are going a little too far, but that does not mean their freedom of speech should be taken from them.
When it comes down to your own personal freedoms, the government is your worst enemy. You may think that modifying freedom of speech ever so slightly may not be anything big, but all problems start somewhere. If you can change one thing about it, chances are, eventually, you'll be able to change even more things.
Freedom of speech is the very thing that seperates us from the Nazis, the Soviets, and North Korea. The fact that some of you guys want to kill them for speaking their mind is absurd, and quite frankly very ironic because the soldiers being criticized are the ones who defend your freedoms in the first place.
I'm sorry, but everytime I hear someone say the first amendment should be modified, I lose respect for them. It's actually very scary to hear people say that. Did the Germans have the right to speak out against the invasions in 1939? No. Don't take freedom of speech for granted, it's one of the few things that are actually still great about this country. I think it's pretty sad to see some of you (much older than me) who should know why freedom of speech exists and protected instead calling for these people to be killed just for saying shit. It's damn scary.
