“Support the Troops” Is A Lie!
November 26, 2014
Those who urge us to “support the troops” are completely insincere in their plea. If they truly wanted “the troops” to be “supported,” they would add the words “bring them home,” a proposition that most of the troops – as well as their families – would embrace. The message hidden within the words “support the troops” is “support the war“, a purpose that no decent, civilized person could defend.
