I’ve long believed that you couldn’t be both anti-war and pro-soldier. Imagine yourself talking to a young soldier and saying: “I think everything you risk your life to do is ill-advised, inhumane, murderous, sickening and the people who declared this war are liars, cheats, thugs and swindlers who don’t care if you die … but I support you entirely.”
Do you think that young soldier FEELS supported?

I like Michele’s concept of taking our support to practical levels, i.e. doing something. It is the least we can do. Think of it this way: all of us hated Saddam’s rape rooms, the shredder he fed people into (one of our members was a soldier who had to clean four inches of human matter off the walls in that room), and the gassing of the Kurds… but the soldiers DID something about it.
