Mr.Pink ... please explain how you can support troops that are carrying out a mission that you believe to be immoral, illegal, or for whatever reason you oppose the mission?

Okay.

My brother, who is absolutely against this war is currently on his third trip overseas to deliver tanks and armor to our troops.

He should be enjoying a four month vacation, but was called to make this voyage. Is he, while firmly against the war, not supporting the troops?

[BlueLancer]

He is performing his job. In this sense, it's again an instance of hypocrisy. If he were truly, vehemently, and honestly against the war, he would have declined to participate in giving them the weapons with which to fight it. I assume he's getting paid for his work and decided that keeping his job or getting paid for the overtime was worth more than his belief that the war is wrong. If he should be "enjoying a four-month vacation" but is, instead, ferrying military equipment to a conflict that he is against, then he has simply chosen money over his principles ... rank hypocrisy.

So, again, no ... that is NOT supporting the troops but opposing their mission.

My heart bleeds...He had to make a sacrafice and give up his 4 month vacation....He joined did he not? Noone held a gun to his head to join right? As they said when I was a Marine...SUCK IT UP!!!!!!

[John Lenin]

It is a total lie to say you support the troops but don't support the war, it's like saying I support the Palestinian suicide bomber but I'm against jihad and intefadah.
Think about it.
