If you would go back and read carefully what I said I was speaking to ONE situation and ONE comment. I have heard that comment made to soldiers (my own soldier has heard this crap come out of the mouths of people). It is stupid and erroneous for a citizen to think that a soldier is not allowed to have his/her own opinions because that tax payer "pays your paycheck." It is an elite "I'm your master" attitude. Tax payers do pay into the military and I never said they did not... tax payers do not own military members and have no right to try and silence them. When I said "shut up" I guess it was my way of saying that kind of controlling and manipulative talk isn't going over on this blog. They can say it where ever they would like, but not here.
