I think you need to realize that there IS a difference between questioning and disagreeing with a decision/policy/operation and supporting the troops.

Don't take a different opinion of how things are done to be the equivalent of turning a cold shoulder to our troops.

Yes, we know that the vast majority of the troops believe in what they are doing. It's their job to do so.

I don't understand how "Get our boys home safe and soon because we don't think the cause is worth their lives" is translated into "Fuck the troops". It's amazing how fast it turns to that though in some minds.

Stability over there relies on religious harmony, plain and simple. Military operations can not accomplish that. Can you blame people for questioning the motive or the procedure? To not do so is pretty moronic.
