Re: "Supporting the troops"

There is a group of people who claim that they support the troops by demanding the troops' cessation from combat. I've never been a soldier so I really have no idea, but isn't fighting the enemy desirable to a soldier? Isn't that the reason they spend all that time training?
Supporting the troops by not letting them fight the enemy is like:
* supporting police by not letting them patrol the streets
* supporting the fire fighter by not letting him extinguish the fire
* supporting the football player by canceling the game on Sunday
Or do soldiers join the military with the hope of not facing combat? Enlighten me.

I joined the reserves for the college money, but I signed the contract and would have gone proudly wherever they sent me.
