I will say this much, the purpose of a soldier is to kill other people that are trying to kill them or the civilians they protect, so if you don't support that then don't pretend to support the soldier, because you don't. At least you have that part right.

I'd die for your right to say what your opinion is, as I am sure you wouldn't for mine. The fact that your ideas are formed in ignorance has been clearly demonstrated thus far. You can hate war and death and killing all you want, but don't pretend to know the mind of those that would willingly give their life to defend your freedoms. Whether or not you feel that is what they are doing at this moment is not relevant, that is their mandate and purpose and that sacrifice is always there and ready to be called on.

Regardless of your opinions on the matter, that deserves respect. The fact that there are human tyrants and people who wish to see you dead is evident whether it's the gangster down the street or Osama. Without people that would die to secure your obviously pitiful and ignorant existence, you probably wouldn’t last very long.
