Either we have freedom of speech or we don't.
The reality is a little more nuanced, I think. We actually accept, rightly or wrongly, a number of circumscriptions on free speech. Copyright laws come to mind, as do truth-in-advertising rules. Then there are laws against slander and libel, along with restrictions on revealing classified information. And that's all in peacetime. When we head to war, the First Amendment truly takes a beating.
