Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government.

Well, you don't see any professional guides or manuals with any sort of swearing.

Because of that, and because there are some younger members here, I think it would be appropriate if we edited some stuff out. It's only a few words, so it shouldn't be too big of a deal.
