(53,410 posts)Theyre job is to tell us the truth. War footing or not. And if you think war is so sacred that no one should ever criticize warmongering leaders then you must believe Democracy is conveniently malleable for the sake of momentary misguided expediency.
Every President has been hounded by the press. Almost all of them took it pretty well though they were obviously uncomfortable. Except Trump who attacks and whines and gets even and bans and insults on a personal level.
If you or anyone prefers to be polite during war rhetoric by all means you, as an American who has that freedom, hold your criticism until some false moment when you allow yourself the right to criticize. Of course when the war is over what good does it do to speak out about it?
