“the phrase 'support the soldiers' is Orwellian double-speak considering the fact that your idea of 'supporting' them is an absolute willingness to oblige them to suffer and possibly die fighting a pointless war you're too bloody credulous to see through”
That is your straw man argument, because you and only you are making the argument. It doesn’t reflect anyone else’s point of view, because supporting our soldiers has nothing to do with supporting the war, or obliging them to suffer or die.
You try to play rhetorical games to disguise your contempt for your soldiers. I’ve supported them in peacetime, and I’ll support them during war, whether I agree with that war or how it is fought.
You may now post and get the last word in, because I tire of you.
