"vote" is one honest answer. but what is the next step beyond that? you can write your representative. but how about if that gets you no traction?
fwiw my guy in iraq doesn't indicate that the troops are demoralized by the protests, and similarly they are not sick of the war, but rather would like to be home with their families (totally understandable). most are there to "do their job" and serve honorably.
but there are some that are not happy to be there, and see little reason for their work. usually these are older officers and reservists who were called up and plucked out of their lives. they still are over there serving, but there are some questions.
as for the intelligence community, i've never had a spook tell me that protest in the us seriously affect our operations overseas. that isn't what drives them. domestic effect, yes.
