I think that government officials should be allowed to express their personal thoughts and opinions because whether or not someone is a part of the government, they have the right to speak publicibly. Freedom of speech is supported in the first amendment of the United States Constitution. When government officials express their own ideas, people should accept them. When people accept them, it will help others speak more openly of their thoughts themselves. Recently, Stanley MacCrystal lost his job because of his personal feelings against the government. If people outside of the government are allowed to say whatever they want about the government, government officials deserve to have the rights as we do. However, I understand that it can cause a lot of controversy and fights. If people don't get judged because of what they say, there would be a lot less dishonesty. Please comment! Thank you!
