Exactly.

thats what i was saying!!!!! that is my entire point!!!!!!!!!! Americans who ALSO did not support going into Iraq and do not support this policy can certainly, at the same time, be "supporting the troops"

WHY is that so hard to fathom?????????????

I see what you are saying.

The military in this Country is voluntary. That's really the long and short of it all.

If they were conscripted and/or ensalved into military service, polls would be much more appropriate. But our soldiers are all volunteers and many are legitimately professional soldiers. When careerbuilder.com takes surveys of workers in America, there's always 20-40% that are in some way disgruntled, and they aren't being shot at, and don't face death as a factor in their daily grind.
