I'll just cut and paste this and post it here:
Well I look at it this way.
If I were at a bar with my buddy (George W. Bush) and he was mouthing off to the big asshole (Saddam Hussein) on the other side of the bar about how he was going to kick his ass I'd tell him to cool it either publicly or privately.
However once the shit hit the fan, I'd shut the fuck up and make sure my boy's back was covered.
This is EXACTLY how I would hancle a real life situation with a good buddy of mine.
People during times of aggression look for weaknesses, and during the Vietnam war that weakness was our homefront, not our war front.
Anytime there is a lack of support on an issue, asshole's always seize the opportunity to exploit that, it also in their demented little minds validates them and whatever issues brought them to this point.
You can be against the war and still support the troops, but for now while the scuffle is on, just shut the fuck up and make sure our boys' backs are covered.
