Dissent
There is a difference between dissent and sedition; Democratic leaders are seditious. Look it up.

What did I miss?
I have reread your comments and don't think I missed anything the first time. You say comments made by Democratic members of Congress are traitorous, that they have directly led to the deaths of troops and that a united front should be presented in the public.
I say public dissent is vital to our system of government, particularly during times of war. I stand by my previous comments.

As your opinion scares me . . . .
You didn't really understand what I wrote; I never said dissenting voices must remain silent. Try to re-read what I wrote and then comment again.

I couldn't disagree more
Your view that dissenting voices should remain silent during war is misguided and scary. As a wise senator once said, "If every preparation for war can be made the excuse for destroying free speech and a free press and the right of the people to assemble together for peaceful discussion, then we may well despair of ever again finding ourselves for a long period in a state of peace."
In other words, unscrupulous leaders, upon noticing that voices of dissent fall silent during war time, might keep us in a permanent state of war in order to implement an agenda without opposition.
We should show the world that we are free to say whatever we want and that we seek justice when crimes are uncovered.
Frankly, your statement that Democratic members of Congress are murderers is baseless, irresponsible and offensive.

Absolutely!
That's exactly right also, as I mentioned
in my first article at Blogit, the press and the ones who leaked the photos to the press are equally treasonous.
