And let us please remember in our prayers, the brave anti-war activists who are now going into Iraq to act as human shields.

As to demonstrating around military installations, the feds won't allow it for the forseeable future anyway, so the point is pretty moot.

Personally, I think this whole "support the troops" thing is being used too manipulatively as a ploy by pro-war factions to be very credible.

Most of us here can likely name at least one person in the US military among our families and friends. To suggest that we aren't supporting our troops when we oppose the war is absolutely ludicrous.

We can simultaneously support our troops, and oppose their mission. That is our duty as citizens in a democracy, if we are opposed to the mission.

The mission isn't the troops, and vice versa.
