Well, I certainly hope they do not put it in the middle of a beautiful, forested area. That would be IDIOTIC.

We Support the Troops, But...
June 1, 2006 | Joe Stener

We support the troops, but we oppose the mission.

We support the troops, but we say they work, bleed, and die for nothing (or for Big-Oil).

We support the troops, but we oppose their Commander in Chief, Defense Secretary, and Generals.

We support the troops, but “Iraq is Bush’s Vietnam,” a war where we also supported the troops (with eggs and stones…).

We support the troops, but they terrorize women and children in the dark of the night.

We support the troops, but their actions are comparable to the Soviet gulags and of some mad regime.

We support the troops, but we only rally around a mother who attacks the troops and the mission (Mother Syndy).

We support the troops, but an anti-war based, misquoting-troops filled, film producer gets a prominent seat at out convention.

We support the troops, but we jump to judgment when a prison scandal is on the horizon.

We support the troops, but we accept a false Newsweek story (Koran flushing…).

We support the troops, but we do not wait for a military trial to determine the facts surrounding the killings of 24 innocent Iraqis.

We support the troops, but we smear all of them for the actions of merely a dozen people (in the prison scandal).

We support the troops, but only if they accuse their fellow solders in committing atrocities in Vietnam, or Cambodia (’04).

We support the troops, but we voted for a “loathing the military” person who ran for president against a war hero, (’92).

We support the troops, but we count their death toll as an investment or commodity.

We support the troops, but we usually set negative-filled anniversaries for dates such as “three years since the war,” or “three years since mission accomplished.”

Troops to these supporters: We thank you for your support, but....no thanks.
