how can you claim to support the troops by protesting the war during the war??? you cant!
if you are protesting the war you are at the same time giving the enemy aid and comfort that there is pressure at home to end the war which gives them more nerve to go out and attack more troops knowing that they have the "useful idiots" back in America helping them.

I don't know if protesting is helping the enemy, but it certainly is not helping our troops. Many of these guys are really fighting for the people of this country, and not for money or college tuition. For these troops to look back and see some of these people talk shit on the country your trying to protect is nothing but a distraction. Sometimes I want to just throw a smoke bomb at these whiney little bitches and watch them run into each other. Lets get these fuckers airborn and drop them into Iraq where they can live in harmony for a month, bring them on back and I bet they change their pretty little sign.
when people protest wars, they are usually asking for peace. this does not meant "fuck our troops. they're stupid for fighting the war." i bet most of them are only at war because they were ordered to. once given an order ofcourse they're gonna go out and do the best they can. that's too bad that troops feel protestors are talking shit about them. i didn't know all the troops liked going to war. it always seems like a time that noone ever really wants to see.
They're troops. They're not philosophers. We don't pay them to love or to smile, we pay them to kill. No one signs up for the army and gets ready to cry at the drop of a hat. Also, if you sign up for the military, you better trust Uncle Sam. You better not be the type that just cries and gives up when you see some protesters. That's what people don't get. If they're troops, they're not out to be nice people, or the type to see some protesters and break down.
personally Im against the war because of the motives behind it........but....but I support the troops. I'll break it down so maybe it will be more clear.
Fuck the war and the reasons behind it. Now the troops I support because it is not the troops who declared war. They're basically instruments for those calling the shots. They're following the orders that have been given to them. I just hope they make a safe trip there and back. A troop can easily be my son, brother, father, etc....(my cousin is a marine). So just because Im not for the war, I still have support for the troops safe departure and return.
I dont feel that showing support for the troops means Im hoping they kill as many people as they can and return without a scratch. Support to me could be anti-war protest declaring bring the troops home, if I felt they were sent for the wrong reasons. Many people believe that the government is corrupt, so why not give a little backing and support to our troops when they are taking orders from the corrupted.
All these anti war protester arent doing anything wrong. We all have the right to peaceably assemble to petition the government for a redress of grievances. All they're doing is exercising there rights. To talk shit on them is to discredit the bill of rights which gives us our liberties. Besides the best way to come up with solutions sometimes is to hear both views, both sides (pro-war and anti-war), and then make a conclusion.

the difference is that the government is using the "support the troops" propaganda bullshit, thus clouding peoples vision towards ideas of stopping the war, also, in vietnam we got fuckin slaughtered, comparitively were having alot easier time in iraq, leading people to not be so worried about our troops unless related to them.
protesting the motives of the war now is pointless, its "over" and at this point, people who support the war are set in their ideas of why it is started and they are self justifying the reasons to continue occupation of iraq, its not like i dont think the motives of the war are wrong or that the war is a justifyable cause, but people have to be diplomatic about their message to stop the war. this can be done by shifting their opinions of why the war should be stopped and marketing that to the general public. so by saying "we want the war to end because it is pointless and will endanger troops" will counteract "support your troops", thus leaving the government without a propaganda campaign that seperates "real americans" for "traitors" or "iraqi supporters"
