The very best sniper the US has ever had seems to have helped Jesse Ventura, an ex-SEAL, himself understand that sometimes you just don't say things like so many anti-war, (Iraq), people think they have a right to say. Anyway Kyle knocked Jesse on his ass for talking a bit wild.

Can't a man express his opinion? There is the view that any time the military backs an improper war, that they are liable for the blame.
I disagree with this view myself, that the men and women are out there trying their best, to make the best of a bad situation.
But Ventura is entitled to his opinion, and shouldn't have been assaulted just for disagreeing with the war. Now, if the reports are true about the personal stuff while the family was there grieving are true, I'd say a good ass kicking is indeed in order.
You have all the freedoms in the world, until you decide to use one of them . Nice illustration of "the freedoms" that those SEAL members defended (in convoluted ways) by killing 3rd worlders who were about to jump in their boats and paddle across the pond to take our freedoms away, gosh, it was close, thank you veterans. But as soon as you deflect 1 inch from the raving, right wing, militaristic lunacy claiming "they gonna get us" and "defense of freedom" every other second (the word "freedom" never was more meaningless and cheap) ... punch of reality is coming right into your mouth.
I was listening this Detroit based real estate show (out of boredom), and a woman host received a call from a Vietnam veteran and, naturally, as soon the bieatch heard the code word "veteran", here comes the flow of real thick bull, it's just like Pavlov' dog reflex these days (a condition to keep a job in media maybe) - "Thank you for your service in defense? of our country, if not for the people like you I would not have freedom to run my mouth on this radio". It's freaking real estate bull, they sell RE in Vietnam and China. I turned off the radio immediately, the host either brain dead, morally bankrupt, or brainwashed to offer anything of the value.
There MUST be some moral and intellectual minimum for the use of the words "defense" and "freedom", if everything goes the way it goes, ever-present 1984-ish double speak, self-censorship and phoniness will just intensify to the absurd levels and then there will be the turn of Obama' approved indefinite detentions (or killings). USA is sliding in the direction directly opposite to the ostentatious freedoms that our brave men and women in uniform defend in the resource rich 3rd world countries.

So the lesson here is people are free to say whatever they want and other people are free to take exception to their nonsense.
Thanks for summing that up for us
Of course I don't believe that violence is ever a legitimate response, but, hey, I guess some people think that in this case the punishment fit the crime.
