Questions from trouble makers?
Is it just me, or has anyone noticed that there have been a lot of people asking questions about why they are being mistreated for for calling soldiers murders or what have you?
These people are liars, and I encourage everyone not to waste your time defending yourself or our soldiers. In fact, I wouldn't be suprised if it was some private in the barracks trying to cause trouble.
Is there anyway to clean up this mess? I wish Yahoo answers was more screened and less tolerant of these people.
Thanks for your answers; however, i think a few of you are really missing my point.
This is has nothing to do with free speech. I am saying these people are liars - they are making up stories to get a rise out of soldiers. I'm not talking about limiting speech, i'm talking about us letting these people who just say lies talk and let it go.

The issue is that they have the same right to spew their vitriol as we do to defend our point of view. We may not like or agree with what they say, but I am afraid that I served my country to defend their right to say it.

If the soldiers aren't fighting for the rights of those people to raise their issues and opinions, then tell me, what are they fighting for? There's nothing worth defending if the peaceful dreamers cannot dream; regardless if they are right or wrong.
Not everyone wants to hand a soldier a lollipop for taking a paid ticket to a chosen career (there is no draft presently). This is a political war, and the freedom to have political opinions is crucial to the freedom that makes America -- even if it is an opinion against those who "fight" to protect it.

They are weaklings who have never even had to take a good shot to the mouth. They are unworthy of your or my attention even now.
