Quoted: "Don't say anything about the war"
"If you don’t wear a uniform, don’t say anything about the war ... Earn your right to say what you think about the war."

That feels like a convenient sound bite, and while I appreciate the apparent frustration of this young man, I believe his statement overly simplistic.
What about "If you don't have a uterus, don't say anything about reproductive rights." or "If you don't have dark skin, don't say anything about race relations."
Silence is not an attribute to a successful democracy.
