I agree with Mat on this.

Questioning the 'war' is not questioning a soldier's conviction.

'Support Our Troops' doesn't mean "buy a bumper sticker from a private, for profit, entity and enrich some random profiteer". It also doesn't mean "agree with whatever W says". I am fairly certain it has nothing to do with forwarding silly flag-waving emails that manage to put the answers to every major question in life in one paragraph. It means "Give careful and critical thought to what this 'war' is about and vote accordingly"

Clap for these guys when you see them; pat them on the back, buy them dinner. But most of all, form your own understanding of what is going on over there and be involved in the process!

+1 here! A relative of mine (Holly Geough) was killed in Iraq a few years ago and I served in Desert Storm and I contend that you can disagree with the president and the administration and STILL support the troops by recognizing their bravery and telling them you care (and doing something about it!).
