American Freedoms

During a time of war, it is often critical to aid the war effort, and it is appropriate for one to sacrifice some of his or her freedoms to do so. As Americans, we are blessed with many freedoms; we obtained these freedoms by supporting our American Soldiers as they fought in previous wars. If it will help the war effort, I think it is important for Americans to sacrifice some of their freedoms. For example, if a rebellious American is publicizing bad things about the war, it would be appropriate for the government to tell that American to stop saying negative things about the war, despite his or her freedom of speech. During times of war, America needs as much support from its country as possible, and if the sacrifice of certain freedoms means helping America out that much more, why wouldn't a true American be willing to make that sacrifice for his or her country?
