what part of the mocking of kindergarteners don't you understand.
None of it. The next sentence shows what Tillman believes is inadequate about the 3 things he lists; in this case, a soldier is 'supported' by receiving a picture (note: the child's sincere feelings are not mocked or even mentioned) from a kid he's hardly seen due to serving 3 or 4 consecutive tours. Tillman clearly believes troops with kids would be better supported if troop levels and deployment were such that they spent more valuable time with them - I find it easy to believe Tillman believes this due to first-hand testimony from his buddies.

Uh Tillman is mocking that support of the kindergartener. It's obvious to anyone who can read.

Then why didn't Tillman mention his buddies in this rant. Seems he is more pissed off at the kindergartener who "scribbles with crayons" to show support of his "buddies".
