I get that you're voicing your opinions, but there's voicing your opinions and being rude. Where you're from really shouldn't come into it. I'm not American and I can still appreciate that he did amazing things.

Oh, absolutely. As I’ve said, repeatedly, I do appreciate the man. War hero, so on, and I’m sure a stellar human being. But I was responding to the “fighting for your freedom” comment which… well, no, not really. Basilone got shit done, but ensuring my personal freedom is not one of them. And even if he did, it was more than a one man effort — John Basilone shouldn’t be put on a pedestal.
