Me too. I don't believe, however, that if you disagree with how our political leaders use our military, you are either unpatriotic or unsupportive of our fighting men and women. It is that scrutiny of elected officials that makes us a democracy.

I believe that support and trust do not go hand in hand. I agree totally that in many cases our military is asked to do as they are told regardless if it is the right thing, or the wrong thing. The point I was trying to make was that I support the armed forces in all their undertaking. And agree totally that each and all have a right to their choice of supporting the stand of those in office.
