Am I the only one who is sick of hearing "freedom isn't free?" I only ever hear this tired idiom from people who can't really make arguments about anything...
Sorry to hear that one of your readers thinks that freedom is trite and uninteresting. They apparently take theirs for granted and not worth sacrificing for.
Hey "Anon," do you know what an idiom is? Also, I think freedom is the most precious thing we have (hardly "trite and uninteresting") ...Perhaps this is why I oppose wars that represent one of the greatest threats to the freedom you and I share...
Marines have bled and died so this bozo can be free to make fun of them. Freedom isn't free, it carries a dear price.

So, props to the brave Marines. But I have little use for the decision to send more Marines to die for no reason.
