The "peaceniks" today weren't doing much better, because they were still trying to make the troops feel they were in a bad war, which evidently is turning into a good one. It's not a good feeling to think you're out there risking your ass for a bad cause. Any war is a mixed bag of good intentions and selfish interests, but the person out there dodging bullets needs the support of those back home, and our intentions and interests are far more wholesome than those of Nazi Germany or Saddam's Iraq.
The US is a democracy, and in a democracy you get a chance to express yourself at voting time. You have the right to voice your dissent, of course, but once a war starts, I think it's time to shut the fuck up and if you have anything to say to write your congressman or senator but not express yourself in a way that might hurt the morale of the guys and gals on the front line.
