The "troops" are individuals -- we cannot support all troops --
because some are murderers who will never be charged.

Some of the individual in the military are good, caring people.

It is irrational to demand that we stop criticizing the troops. This is what bushie wants -- to have everyone in the US give the troop/bush a free pass.

War crimes are happening right now. And the troops have blood on their hands.

In Vietnam -- individuals in the military had to stop the "troops" from completely eradicating a whole village.

Not all of the German troops were evil -- but others were involved in grotesque acts of war and they were charged with war crimes.

Support the troops is a code word for support bush without question.

I support the troops that are fighting not to go to Iraq -- our very own refusnicks.

1. No, you have that wrong
you can suport the troops (and not all deserve it granted) and still not be behind bushie... but he wants you NOT to suport them so he can charge you with sedition at the very least if not treason, Do not fall for the rovian\ orwellian game, and i know it is temptimg

What bushie wants is no critcism whatsoever... NONE, NADA< ZIP...

2. You support them as a collective.
We don't have a problem with the troops. The problem is with the fucking leadership. The troops are noble in function. The leaders are fuckface dildos.

4. What choice do we have? We are forced to support them.
They take it out of our tax money. How does one NOT support the troops anyway? By calling them names?
