"How the heck can you support the troops and not support what they are doing, I just don't get that, AT ALL!"

I made this statement, and I am going to have to stick with it. Our troops are doing their job. We have all worked for idiot bosses. Several of you on this post have said forget the democracy goals - they are impossible to meet - then why are we still there? That is the exact reason our current administration justifies keeping our troops there - to restore and maintain government in Iraq. If you agree it is truly impossible to restore democracy by force in Iraq, then you must be against the war too.
