Soldiers are not heroes: a tale of two Facebook groups
It began with "Soldiers are not heroes"
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=42606435450
(which claims to be a parody). But now the 1856-member group is being threatened by the "Petition to get the group 'Soldiers are not heroes' off Facebook!"
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=58849197408
Which, as of this writing, has 85,172 members.

It's a Facebook war!

1. Quit abusing your freedom of speech!
Those soldiers didn't die to protect your freedom so you could go around expressing unpopular opinions.

(:sarcasm: in case anyone missed it).

2. Wish I could write something to the clueless, but then I would have to join the group. (Don't want
increase their numbers.)

The standard right wing line - yes, you have freedom of speech, just not now, or like that!
