Defend them by bringing them home in shame? Sorry will, I'm not seeing it. Especially when you had such virulent opposition to them from the start. People were clamoring for their return even during the early stages of the conflict. Some people want them out of Afghanistan as well. IMO, once the troops leave their barracks, the public should stand behind them for the duration, especially through hard times. Yet, the media and left had to keep droning on about petty foibles and trivialities from day one, in their efforts to sour the war effort. I don't think that is right. I don't think that is supporting the troops.
