“Support our troops. Bring them Home”

The title of my post must be the second most popular bumper sticker in the Bay Area, right behind “No War For Oil.”  Considering that the troops themselves believe support is shown by approving of their mission and providing them with funds, I’ve always been bewildered by the attitude that says I hate everything you stand for, and I want to rip the economic rug out from under you so that more of you die but, otherwise, I support you fully.”  John Robinson has had the same problem, and you can read here the method he used to solve it.  (Proving that you’ve just got to find an argument that hits home.)
