I am okay with anyone labeling him anything that they want. Some say he is a hero and some say he is a traitor...what does it matter?

It matters that people closer to the locus of power in the US use language so imprecisely.

Imprecisely? It is a matter of perspective.

You should define your "it"'s here, but words don't enter into slang by themselves.

Some will say he is a hero. Some will say he is a traitor. Someone is not imprecise because you disagree with something they consider to be a truth; It is a matter of perspective.
