J.D. Johannes:

Mr. Begleiter, if you really want to understand the human cost of war, don’t stand on a fucking tarmac, get embedded and see the human cost of war up close and personal where the price is actually paid.

But many of the free speech advocates have no desire to put themselves at risk to tell the stories of the women and men who have willingly put themselves in harm’s way.

They want to do it on the cheap, standing on concrete in the US at a scheduled time rather than face the capricious hazards of war standing on the sands of Iraq or rocks of Afghanistan.

Many of those “free speech advocates” are interested only in the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines as props.
