We must remain supportive of our troops no matter how we feel about the war. They are young Americans acting in the interest of their government. r\ It is certainly possible, and indeed quite respectable, to simultaneously oppose the war effort and support the troops conducting it. The George-Anne contends that the most honest and compassionate support for our troops is the desire to bring them home - NOW! To oppose the war is not to oppose our troops. To oppose the war is to oppose the government forcing those troops to act as cogs in an unnecessary war machine.
