Anybody else despise those Support Our Troops Bumper Stickers? [View All]

First, may I say that I have respect for the military. I have many friends in the military (not in Iraq thank God).

But every time I see one of those GD yellow ribbon bumper stickers, I want to scream. "Support our Troops." What does that even mean? Do these people believe that's all it takes? Joining a fad and slapping a magnet on their Hummer?

To support the troops, I think you have to donate money to them, write them encouraging letters, send them a phone card, or join up.

Ways to disrespect the troops: Drive around in an SUV that gets 10 MPG, vote for a president who put them in harm's way without batting an eye, or buy yellow ribbon bumper stickers that capitalize on people's sentiments during wartime without giving any money back to the troops.

Am I the only one?
