   Most people correctly understand that you can support the troops but not support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; it is less well understood that you can support these wars but not support the troops. I wish we could have taken these soldiers on a tour of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center before they re-enlisted:

   And I wonder how many of the soldiers in this picture re-enlisted because they would otherwise have been stop-lossed? If you’re going to have to stay in the Army whether you like it or not, maybe you might as well stay “voluntarily” and earn yourself a re-enlistment bonus.

   “Most people correctly understand that you can support the troops but not support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. ”

   Nonsense.

   Anyone who joins the United States military post-Vietnam is a war criminal. Let’s save our sympathies for the hundreds of thousands of lives these “servicemen” have destroyed, the women they’ve raped, the children whose arms and legs they’ve blown off, the multitudes they’ve degraded and tortured, the country they have battered beyond recognition.
