I would think it would help the morale of the troops greatly to see their leaders defending them and the war they are fighting for, by opposing cartoons in mass media that could be considered in poor taste, even mocking their efforts and resulting injuries.
It takes 5 seconds or less to sign a letter, but for troops to see that signature in defense of them and their cause would certainly make that 5 seconds of effort worthwhile.
Furthermore, if I was a soldier in a foreign land and saw such a cartoon, and no response from my leaders, I think that would be a great concern. There is more to leadership than just issuing orders and organizing training drills.
