"If you disagree with what the government is doing, stay silent until they finish doing it."
That's just about the most un-American sentiment you could possibly express. It's also the same bullshit emotional blackmail that's been used to silence the critics of every terrible policy in my lifetime, from covid to Iraq and beyond.
I'm not falling for it.
No one is asking you to change your mind or become pro-this war, but can you shut up for a couple of days? Your vocal critic opinions aren’t benefiting us right now in any way, and you’re only undermining this operation. Once it’s ongoing, your criticism isn’t changing anything anymore. If you want to do what’s clearly best for our country, stay silent on the matter until this is over, and then state all your vocal criticisms.
