"I don't so much blame/harbor ill feelings to the troops that signed on to this..."

Why?

First there was a new law that allows the military to petition as such but yes I think it is wrong and inappropriate and that the new law at the urgings of provocateurs is being misused for purely defeatist political purposes.

Now as for the provocateurs IMHO they are seditionists who have fed willful lies of omission and commission to these military personnel to seduce them into committing an act though lawful as individuals to do to act in a manner that without the law would border if not cross over into a charge of Conspiracy to Mutiny Under the UCMJ.

The last that I heard the number that had signed on was approximately 250 out of the total number that are currently serving in theater or have served in theater making it statistically and infinitesimally insignificant number.
