I would suggest the reason that the dems keep saying they support the troops is that (for reasons roach spells out) the republicans have equated 'supporting the troops' and 'supporting the plan'. Since the dems don't support that plan, they clearly aren't supporting the troops. The only connection it has to the past is the connection that's grown between anti war talk and mythical non-support of troops.
When I get used the way the soldiers are getting used, I tend to get annoyed. I'm just surprised there aren't more soldiers upset...
