Please refrain from supporting global ignorance by relying on rhetoric to persuade people. Just because you believe something doesn't make it true, and just because you say something over and over, also, doesn't make it true. If you care about the truth, you must carefully determine the truth with logically valid methods. In particular, please refrain from encouraging the irrational hatred of organizations such as the US military.
