Support the troops?

by Kevin Good, Unknown News      Feb. 19, 2007

The pro-war caucus is holding the U.S. military hostage. Their ransom demand to any American opposing the war is, 'You either
support the stupid war we started or you're against the American troops we sent there'.

The logic I hear over and over again is "How can you be against the war and not for our troops?" I don't know what military they're talking about. The military I was in, we didn't get together, decide to invade Vietnam, and stay there ad nauseam. I was told
 
to go, by our elected officials.

The way I see it 'Support our troops' takes two forms.

The first is to remove the troops from the ill-conceived 'not greeted as liberators' un-anticipated civil war the U.S. created.

The second is to send more and more troops down the same road again and again, putting their lives and limbs on the line, looking for the next IED.

You will be responsible for killing this kitten if you don't support the war.

 
What if Congress does refuse to fund multi-million dollar bonuses to 'Military Industrial Complex' contractors who are over budget, over billing, behind schedule or not delivering?

The known-news media will produce 24x7 reports of a Marine unit that had to retreat because they ran out of bullets, and other units forced to ration food and fuel. The propaganda for funding the war machine is powerful, and the military is caught in the middle again.
