Not all speech is protected. But, all of the posts here to date appear to be protected speech under the First Amendment.

You can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater, but a man can burn Old Glory and it's protected. A man can wear Old Glory upside down on the back of his jacket and it's protected. A man can shout from the rooftops that he'd wished the would be assassin had hit its mark when trying to kill a presidet and it's protected.

I understand the Lt.'s concern regarding professionalism, and that this is a public domain, but the best response to perceived bad speech is not to stifle that bad speech but to do what the Lt. thought appropriate - more speech. No doubt this site is a release valve to a steam pipe that some (as well as yours truly) feel the need to access from time to time in order to vent/express. If what you read here disturbs you, read it and move on, or post something in response to what you've read. Let Freedom and Liberty reign supreme.

Lt., I applaud you.

Everyone else, carry on.
