Would you agree that it has been in a different context by the left than it has by the right? I see and hear it used as a slogan in left wing discussions with the right and even as a bumper sticker and it seems to always be in the anti-war context. So, like 'states rights' that has a clear and distinct body of doctrine that stands alone, when some people use the term there underlying purpose has a more central motivation than generally wanting states to have rights to legislate on their own. State's rights only becomes an issue when their is a particular social agenda that is regionally uncomfortable and distinctive as a cultural value from the National outlook. I hear 'support the troops' usually when attached to 'but' in an anti-war context. When I hear a left winger use the term I hear 'anti-war'. When I hear a right winger use the term I hear 'kick some butt'.
