If someone was completely against what is happening but still did the same amount of work you are doing, they are still supporting the troops as much as you do.

How can you say that people who are against the actions of the leaders of this country are against the troops. All of them, only wish that the soldiers get out safely and moreso that they get out as soon as possible. Why do you think that many people want the war to end? Its because we SUPPORT THE TROOPS and doen't want to see any more blood lost for issues that we don't agree with. Saying that we are against the soldiers because we don't agree with the decisions that our leaders are making is a horrible thing to say.

Well F'in said. I'll bow out on that note. Sorry for getting this thread sidetracked SBF, but I think unfortunately it's just the nature of this beast. It's hard to discuss one side without the other coming up.
