Do you support all American troops including those who are proud of their service, don't complain, re-enlist, volunteer for another tour in Iraq, and make the military a career?
I went thru this same baloney in the '70s, during the Vietnam war. There were civilian groups of mostly young people outside our base who befriended young enlisted people by telling them they "supported" them. They would invite the military people to "parties", offer them dates, booze, or dope, and then proceed to tell them how their leaders were mistreating and lying to them, how the war was illegal, blah, blah, blah. Since I was a woman in the military their favorite spiels were how the military officers looked down on women, talked dirty about us, didn't treat us equally, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, that was supportive.
It was that kind of "support" that made military life more depressing.
