"There are two sides,
I suggest you pick yours wisely."

I commented as a reader who read your post and left feedback. I'm not a component of division but freedom of choice and opinion.

I disagree in the aspect of you seeming to label a "traitor" to any active, reserve, or combat-veteran, veteran service-member that are on the side of the issue you aren't satisfied with if they don't align with your views.

These men and women are not traitors. They have every right to choose what they want to choose (opposing or non-opposing side) calling them a "traitor" is very dismissive on the amount of suffering they deal with through sleep-deprivation, hard physical labor, and fitness requirements, and the tasks they need to do to perform their job, and the majority of deaths that occur in suicide, or in training that aren't combat related (all on a very minimum wage).

They being part of anyone as well as everyone has the right to choose either side. Is that not liberty, is that not freedom to be able to do so?

Each choice (as long as it is non-violent) should be respected to create discussion not division (from military members, and military families to minorities, residents, and citizens) because progress can't be obtained through hate, the inability to not listen to either side, or not having the skill to communicate peacefully stunts being able to find resolution.

Even just welcoming conversation on the topic seems hard at times.

My bad, my intention was clear and meant to let you know "I am listening." That's it.
