Wow links to validate that Swayz was basing his comment on appropriate information, also a comment to show that some don't like Veterans on The Mat, if Salyer visits that on a frequent basis, and I am sure he does, then he knows there are a lot of trolls that hate American, God and Republicans. Not trying to be political here but that is the reality of The Mat. It seems as if whatever stance you take, especially a pro American perspective, that someone will quickly bash you. Those individuals on the mat doing so, at least many of them that got the trolling started, are in those circles.

I think that anyone reading too much in to the Swayz article is mistaken. The article was an attempt, and I personally believe a good one, to show that on all days, especially Veterans Day, we should have a deeper appreciation of our veterans. I personally hold the comment equivalent to telling your kid not to say their "starving" when they sit down to eat because they're really not. Wrestling is not really "war."

Couple of points, as one who writes, I appreciate the reminder that words mean things so therefore, we need to work at using the right words. I am the last on the planet to believe in the general practice of "Political Correctness." That being said, I also believe that out of respect that we don't devalue certain concepts. I also know this, out of respect to the men and women who serve our country, I'll personally try to be a little more mindful of not calling wrestling a "war." A battle, or something else maybe, but hopefully not a "war." Why will I make the effort to do this? Simply because it will remind me to give even more respect to those who serve our country.
