I support the troops.....with certain qualifiers
Advertisements [?]
when u.s. soldiers begin to behave like nazis, and treat the captured like concentration camp prisoners, sorry, i can't support those particular troops. those who fire on children, and burn mothers, under orders, something that i could not do, i cannot support.

an american soldier should be a special soldier. he should be educated and taught common human decency. and he knows when he's committing an atrocity or not. i support THOSE troops.

when i see dead babies and humiliated p.o.w.'s and young men laughing as they shoot on the unarmed, i can't blindly support our troops.
