In American English, "defense" is commonly understood as "the military-industrial complex".

Your opinion can be logical, but everyone has their own opinion.

If you want suggestions, I'd recommend taking an approach of "What are you including in your comment that would interest or inform someone, versus the other millions of opinions on the internet?"

Or, 'Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.' https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Also, while we're at it, 'Please don't use uppercase for emphasis. If you want to emphasize a word or phrase, put *asterisks* around it and it will get italicized.'

I’m not from the USA nor am I going to be hoodwinked by American double think of ‘defense’. Batter in though.

Yes, opinions are like arsehole’s… everyone has one. However, for lack of logical opinions like mine in a sub thread relating to thoughts of conspiracy, I personally feel that mine does have the ability to spark a second thought about a situation. If you don’t agree, that’s your opinion.

And thanks for your tips on emphasism - highly interesting and informing.
