Thread Name: BS: We're not against the soldiers.
Subject: RE: BS: We're not against the soldiers.
"Balderdash! How could you profess to support the troops, if you don't support their mission?"

Think of it this way: I do not think young people should die for GWB's mistakes.

Or say I think it irresponsible of Bush to send his troops into battle ill-equipped. I have seen photos of troops in the desert wearing "woodland" camouflage. And that's minor irresponsibility.

Or a historical analogy: Look up the "Charge of the Light Brigade" in the Crimean War. The soldiers were brave, and doing their duty; the commanders should have been jailed for life. At least.

I don't see how you could have supported that mission, no matter how much you supported the troops. Especially if you supported the troops.
