  • "Freedom isn't free", "freedom is not free", "freedom's not free", or "freedom ain't free" is an American idiom. The expression is used to describe sacrifice during times of crisis, being used widely in the United States to express gratitude to the military for defending freedom. The phrase is also found in an Australian political ad. It may be used as a rhetorical device. The phrase is more generally used to describe how Americans responded to the 9/11 attacks, "...the aftermath of the attacks, our city, our nation and people across the world came together..." The phrase has been used by both conservative and liberals alike to describe the tragedy and the sacrifices of both the American people and its military after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. As the ideal that sacrifice was necessary to battle terrorism, legislation was passed such as the Patriot Act which gave the American government considerable reach into surveillance of lives of common citizens. The act is now a controversial topic as some claim is necessary to combat ongoing terrorism and others see it as a needless expansion of the federal government. (en)
  • «Свобода не безкоштовна» (англ. Freedom isn't free, freedom is not free, freedom's not free, freedom ain't free) — американська ідіома, широко використовувана в Сполучених Штатах Америки з метою висловлення вдячності військовим за захист громадянських прав і свобод. Вона може використовуватися як риторичний прийом. Ідіома висловлює подяку за службу військовим, неявно стверджуючи, що свободи, якими користуються багато громадян у демократичних країнах, можливі лише завдяки ризикам і жертвам, зробленим військовими. Приказку часто використовують для висловлення поваги саме тим, хто віддав своє життя на захист свободи. Слова «Свобода не безкоштовна» вигравірувані на у Вашингтоні, округ Колумбія. Перед меморіалом є фонтан. (uk)
