I keep hearing that "you can't say that you support the troops if you don't support their mission." Which does make sense. It's like saying "You're doing something bad but doing it well."

I keep hearing that "you can't say that you support the troops if you don't support their mission."

My argument is, would any person in his/her right mind tell their spouse "Your job is a complete joke. I cannot even scrape up a shred of respect for your embarassing efforts. You're also a worthless parent, a complete bum around the house, and a lousy lover. But I love you, Snookums!"

Didn't think so.

Or it's like saying you support the players on the Pittsburgh Steelers but you hope they drop out of the Super Bowl because their opponent might beat them.

I have been saying that from day one... and I can prove it...

I disagree.

If the nation's political leadership misuses the armed forces in PC or aimless ways, it does not mean the troops are "doing something bad".

It means their civilian commanders are doing something bad, and saying so has nothing to do with the troops.
