Depends where ya are. I'm sure if you cared to dig you could find people with claims that they lost their jobs due to being too vocal either for or against some politcal policy. The fact that we are "a nation at war" only intensifies this.
I do think the writer exaggerated the average person's fear of reprisal for speaking out against the war, but one need only look to specific tradationally unhawkish folks on the right or center-left in Washington to see real fear of speaking out against the war. This war was
immensily popular when it began.
