In this day where we are more inclined to say whatever we want, we see more and more offense being taken to the words that get said.

In his conclusion, Mulvaney feels American leadership should turn the requirements against "the war on terror from symbols to tangible action". He writes that "an American with a French Facebook flag demeans the war on terror and is as effective as a smiley face" (Mulvaney 2015).
