Host, you're changing the subject. Look, there is a reason the Dem leadership keeps saying they support the troops - it's because they at least <i><b>perceive</i></b> that there is a historical feeling in the country that the last time there was an unpopular war, returning soldiers weren't treated right. That's why they're doing it. And they are 100% right: people who sign up to fight for our country -- whether or not the war they are ordered to fight is one you or I agree with -- deserve our respect and gratitude. The political aspects of the war are <i><b>not</i></b> the fault or responsibility of the soldiers. The war opponents do not want people to come back years from now and say they didn't support our soldiers - which was done to the anti-Vietnam war people. Remember "we support our troops - when they shoot their officers" didn't materialize out of thin air.
Saying that other people "diss" the country in other ways is less than irrelevant to the discussion.
