Don Williams of New Millenium Writings on Who really supported troops?
So just who truly supported the troops? Those who sent them to Iraq with no clear plan for bringing them home again or those who warned, don't go there, it's a quagmire?
Donald Rumsfeld once said with a wink and a grin that you can't have a quagmire in the desert – it's too dry – but if this is not a quagmire, then give me another word for it. We can't move forward, we can't back out. We pour money and human lives into it, and it only gets worse.
I never any saw of the "Support the Troops" warbloggers talking about the serious problems facing our troops.
Their main focus was never about the troops. It was, and still is, more about labeling dissent as unpatriotic. For the most part, if you didn't agree with this war they you were labeled a anti-American traitor who ought to be shot in the woods. Or something like that.
