But someone needs to tell these Democrats that you can't be against the war and supportive of the troops at the same time. Because if you do, you are saying something like, "Have a good fight – even though you're not fighting for anything worthwhile."

THANK you for this, Jay!! (A few freepers need to be told this too.....)

That's not an acceptable position. FULL STOP

, and particularly not in the presence of a grieving family that desperately needs reassurance their loved one's life was given in a noble cause, it is the very definition of "gauche."

The national Democratic Party is headed by people who, like Clinton, "loathed the military." Now the best they can manage toward the military is a patronizing attitude. If you cannot sincerely pay respect, at least have the common courtesy to stay away.

Only a Democrat is likely to welcome someone who wants to conduct a partisan pep rally at the funeral of their family member.
