Reply #204: You're right. Bringing them home is not turning on them.

It is important not to make the mistake of the Viet Nam era when there was a lot of derision of the troops generated by a bunch of deliberately offensive to nearly everyone morons (e.g., Hoffman, Rubin). At the same time, 100K civilians dead and attacks on a city to make Iraq safe for elections is absurd. Opposing these actions is not opposing the troops. Turning on the Pentagon, well that's another thing.

Good point here to keep in mind but I've seen very little here at DU to support the thread author's contention.

Corporate America controls the media and we get manufactured news.
Corporate America now controls the voting machines and we get manufactured elections.
