Opposing the War and Supporting the Troops

Opposing the war and supporting the troops.

Consider the reasoning:

I oppose the war, but I support the troops.

I oppose the victory of America over Iraq, but I support the troops in their effort to achieve victory over Iraq.

I oppose the efforts of President George W. Bush to remove Saddam Hussein and the Ba'ath Party from power in Iraq, but I support the troops who are carrying out the orders of President George W. Bush.

I oppose the use of arms and equipment to defeat Iraq, but I support the troops who are using those arms and equipment to defeat Iraq.

I oppose putting out fires, but I support firefighters.

I oppose arresting criminals, but I support police officers.

I oppose flying around in airplanes, but I support pilots.

I oppose what you do and how you do it, but I support you.

I oppose what the troops are doing and how they are doing it, but I support the troops who are doing it.

I oppose the war, but I support the troops.

What does that mean? If the troops you support win the war you oppose, will you be happy or sad?

Pure nonsense. This is the babbling of cowards. If you oppose the war, you can't possibly support the troops whose only business in Iraq is to make the war you oppose. If you support the troops, you can't possibly oppose the victory they are fighting and dying to achieve.

People say they oppose the war but support the troops because they are cowards. They know how contemptible it would be to spit on the troops today the way the cowardly anti-war movement did during America's war in Viet Nam, and as much as they want to relive the glory days of the 60's, they just don't have the guts.

How are the troops you support today different from the troops who were slandered and cursed during America's war in Viet Nam? There is a tie that binds the troops of today and the troops of all pervious wars. It is that we all took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America. We fought to defend the freedom of cowardly anti-war fanatics, too. And we have never failed to do so. The fact that there are still cowardly anti-war fanatics proves it.

Face it; you just don't have the guts to spit on us anymore, do you?

Found this on Mike Rosen's (850 KOA in Denver) web page. I thought it was a great editorial on how the peaceniks are trying to have it both ways--saying they support the troops but they don't support the war effort. I don't know Guy Evans, but he ought to be a FReeper.

The big irony is that the media always fail to tell us is that it was the media that was doing the spitting.
