Don't Support Our Troops: Win or Lose, War on Iraq is Wrong

This guy really touched a nerve with me.  As a military member I know that
we do what we're told and the consequences of not doing that is severe
punishment including possible jail time.  The writer of the article above
essentially states that because our leaders are wrong, all military members
are wrong.  This is like holding children accountible for the sins of thier
parents.  I say support our *troops*, even if you don't agree or condone the
*war*.  These men and women are people too, not demonic minions.

  For my part, I can think of no better way to support our troops than to
demand that they not be placed in harm's way for an arbitrary, unjustified war.
