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.

Nonsense.

So a fighting age college guy who fully supports this war, but not enough to actually enlist is suppporting our troops, while a guy who is against the war, but putting himself at some risk to bring critical supplies to our troops is not.

When Sean Hannity turns down his paycheck, I'll suggest to my brother that he does the same.
