I had a soldier tell me "If you don't support the war, you don't support me"
Which pissed me off because my only reply was "I don't support you then".
/sigh.... is it over yet?
What you should have said is "You're fighting in a war in which people are dying from hidden explosives, and kids are running around with dynamite vests. If you think that by wanting to get our soldiers out of that mess, I'm not supporting the troops, then you're damn wrong."
Agreed
But, let me help you step back from your shell for a second.
What would you do if people came into your country and started taking over, removing your leaders from power and reinstating a 'better' government.
The "patriotic" thing to do would be to fight back...
Those silly infidels, they should just bend over and take America's imperialistic penorz right in the ass..
Honestly (I'm gonna get flamed to hell for this), I agree with you. America began because of a revolution. I'm saying that by disagreeing with the war, it doesn't mean that you don't support the troops. The best way to support the troops is to get them out of harm's way.
And, for the record, I did go around Chicago replacing people's yellow "Support the Troops" ribbons with ones of the same size, color, and font that said "Support Iraqi Insurgency". Fight the power.
