Thanks to Ace for the link to this video from an NBC story on how the troops in Iraq feel about the “We support the Troops, but not the war” talking point:
Troops say they are increasingly frustrated by American criticism of the war, many take it personally believing it is also criticism of what they’ve been fighting for.
If it’s so transparently false, why does the Left keep repeating it as though it’s the truth?
What’s not absurd is how the opposition is frequently and commonly expressed by the Left.
What’s not absurd is how the actual troops on the ground perceive that opposition.
I can’t control what they perceive, especially when idiots like you claim that opposition to the war is the same as opposing them. If they fall for your line of crap, that’s not my fault. I know what I feel, and what I say, and what I mean. If craven political hacks like you want to misrepresent what I am saying to the troops - all for some chance that real patriots will be scared into silence, and if they fall for it, that is a sorry state of affairs.
But it certainly doesn’t intimidate me into silence.
Got something you want to say?

That’s such nonsense.
Most Americans oppose the presence of US troops in Iraq. To claim that 60% of Americans therefore ‘oppose the troops’ is absurd on its face.
