1. Yeah the whole thing was a smokescreen.

The "support the troops" thing was basically - and trust me I don't like the "psychobabble" sound of this term but it fits - emotional blackmail. Let's not talk about the war when there's people dying. Course when one of the troops happens to have a different view on something than they do...oh hey...

2. She is not a hero because she won't lie for them.

I'll tell you what it takes so much more courage to face down corrupt mythology and peer pressure than it does to shoot back at shooting Iraqies it isn't even funny.

3. She never claimed to be a hero.

The wingnuts said she was. Now they're doing a 180.
