So, what offensive piece of drivel has Salon spewed today?

You don't protect my freedom: Why our insistence on calling soldiers heroes is childish -- and deadens real democracy http://t.co/HBjNMv6pWr

Mentally challenged David Masciotra at least had the decency to not release soldier-bashing commentary on Veteran's Day; however, that doesn't take away how bad this stupid burns:

Put a man in uniform, preferably a white man, give him a gun, and Americans will worship him. It is a particularly childish trait, of a childlike culture, that insists on anointing all active military members and police officers as “heroes.” The rhetorical sloppiness and intellectual shallowness of affixing such a reverent label to everyone in the military or law enforcement betrays a frightening cultural streak of nationalism, chauvinism, authoritarianism and totalitarianism, but it also makes honest and serious conversations necessary for the maintenance and enhancement of a fragile democracy nearly impossible.
