    The only people that this will offend

    are those weak in the head and unable to reason for themselves. Unfortunately for all of us, that seems to be a majority of Americans.

    As an example of the inability to reason, consider that the people that claim to 'support the troops' are the ones that want to continue seeing them shot at, bombed, mortared, blasted with rpg's and generally assaulted and killed in every way possible.

    On the other hand, those that want to bring them home to be safe, to be able to support and raise their families in their own country, those people are the ones characterized as hating the troops.

    Go figure.
