Wow. Re-reading that was really interesting, more than 4 years later....
I found this bit here quite chilling:
Quote: Before the war started, I was inclined to oppose it. I want now only to win it decisively and quickly and bring our men and women in the armed forces home safely. I am in the camp that says once it begins, it is time to shut up and stand behind those men and women.
That was quite a popular sentiment, back then. Now that the war has become unpopular, that the majority of Americans has turned away from it, it's strange to go back and read about these things.
Still, somebody stating that, once your country goes to war, freedom of speech and all that becomes less important than supporting your troops? Scary stuff.
Stumble It!
