I’m with American Guy. This “I oppose the war but I support the troops” stuff is bullshit.
I don’t support the war, and moreover I don’t support “our” troops.
They chose to join the army. How very unfortunate for them (and their loved ones) that they were stupid enough to voluntarily sign up for a job which routinely involves being sent to oil-rich middle eastern countries and getting shot, blown up and generally given a hard time by pesky locals who won’t get with the program. My heart bleeds. Screw the troops.
I’ve actually considered joining for the heart pounding experience.
Then I realized my potential political career was more important to me.
I’m very glad!
