No. You didn't. You may want to think that you did, but that's only in your head.

Ferdinand Marcos did what he did under the auspices of saving democracy. Uncles who were statesmen had their senate seats revoked. The family newspaper editor was arrested and the press shut down. It was all just Martial Law. He wasn't a dictator. He was elected. Many times, ever time.

You can decide for yourself what the words may be so that it's palatable to yourself, but it's actions that determine what and who you are. We may be intending it to not be war, but it is. Call it whatever you like to call it, soldiers come home dead, traumatized, tortured, etc.

And here I thought you thought for yourself, not what the government nor the media told you...
