Imagine you are a soldier in iraq now, and you hear that someone is protesting the war. And you think I just had 2 people I know die, I am in the front line...
The soldier has to think to himself he is there for the better good of the American People or why else is he there, why else is his friends and brothers in arms are dying. To the average soldier any criticism of the war will be considered not supporting the troops.
It is hard to be able to express to the soldier that it is not anything against them, but you want them safe and here, or supporting our national causes, but just ones.
This is not my personal total view on the war cause I am torn on the war on a number of fronts. A very good friend of mine is a psychologist who helps with the troops when coming back from Iraq, and I have had this conversation with her about how they feel when they come back.
