No, what you said is extremely offensive. Your initial statement on
America's sacrifices in war - "Woo Hoo" - dismisses those sacrifices as
being unimportant. Freedom is not Free, Kat. Those sacrifices were of
the utmost importance.
If you truly believe that wars are "the best mistake that can be made",
then you should not have too much problem retracting your insults. Given
that Memorial Day is just around the corner - it would certainly be
appropriate.

I very unapologetically defended my position yesterday - America is not
*just* another country. Fire away.
