Not missing it, just not addressing it. The topic wasn't of particular interest from that angle. Not to me anyway.

It's not that I dislike the word liberated, it's that it's completely inaccurate in this case, and those kinds of inaccuracies do have consequences, however slight at first.

Defeated is a good word. Invaded is another. Liberated isn't.
