It’s difficult enough to convict actual genocidal maniacs for their crimes. That said, I’m not too eager to “support” the troops. I certainly don’t want anything bad to happen to alternative papers them. Most of them are young. Many of them, despite the fact that they’re so young, already have families. I don’t want to see kids growing up fatherless or motherless. However, with an all-volunteer army, it’s hard to excuse every soldier for moral culpability in this alternative papers war. They all joined up knowing that they could be sent to war, even an illegal, immoral, unjustified alternative papers war that actually makes this country, Iraq, and the world less stable and safe. Anyway, I’ve always found the command “Support the troops!” to be hollow and meaningless. Conservatives use it to quash dissent. Liberals use it to avoid seeming traitorous.
