I liked it, or most of it. Interesting that the original poster thinks the author is unpatriotic, and he apparently missed most or all of the humor.
It's a tongue-in-cheek piece, witty, and makes some important observations. Bottom line though, despite the title, is that he does in fact support the troops, just not what they have been ordered to do. And he thinks they should have "hospitals, pensions, mental health and a safe, immediate return."
Same as me.
P.s the comment against parades was intended to be funny (too much traffic, duh)

With all due respect, you don't have a clue what you're talking about. I listened to a half-hour radio interview with the author, Joel Stein, yesterday and he most certainly does NOT support the troops. He says what he means in the article. I know he was trying to be funny in how he expressed his lack of support, but it's not most people's kind of humor.
