AND I totally back people protesting to express themselves. Its our right as Americans. I just don't agree with them. And I have every right not to agree with them. Works both ways.
I hear people say they back our soldiers, but what I see are protests. That does not back our soldiers. The soldiers are part of the military and all actions against the war is against our soldiers. You may see it differently, but I do not.
I exercise my right of expression all the time. Some may say too much. Hey, you may think I express to much too.
I'd love to get feedback from someone in the military. Would be good to see their view.

I wouldn't necessarily say protesting is backing the soldiers, but I do wholeheartedly think that you can back the soldiers and not back the president. I know there are plenty of soldiers' parents who back the soldiers 100% but don't see eye to eye w/the Prez. Shit, Generals Athony Zinni and Stormin' Norman Schwartkoff aren't backing the president.
Do you contend that if someone doesn't back the president they can't back the soldiers?
