Having been military and knowing many still in (some in the war zone), my friends and area vets know that I bend over backwards to help them. They know I do not believe in this war. They also know I am very outspoken about the troops being underfunded, underequipped and lied to about benefits. And they know I can be both and that they can be both.
This administration keeps underfunding and underequipping, the soldier and lying to vets. To say you support the war, the administration and turn a blind eye to those problems while you question others patriotism makes no sense to the soldier and the vet. How can you say you support the troops when you allow them to not have the equipment and the materials they need to fully succeed. Many will tell you that this is Vietnam all over again and that they see a draft coming.
People speak of "morale" so I ask what is more morale busting:
Someone like myself saying the troops are fighting in a war that we were lied to about and are doing so underequipped, undersupplied, staying longer than they should, (while Halliburton continues to make billions) and coming home to find they were lied to about their benefits from this administration.
Or someone who blindly follows this administration denies, ignores and stays quiet over the facts and simply says, you're unpatriotic and not supporting the troops if you don't believe in the war.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
