Supporting while Opposing
Michelle Malkin notes a NY Times article chronicling the rise in violence and harassment against campus military recruiters.
Not much info on any successful prosecutions of the punks responsible for these nearly seditious attacks. So much for “opposing the war and supporting the troops,” huh?
Michelle Malkin: Military Recruiters Under Fire
I can respect that some people don’t think the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were necessary. But at this point, our troops are committed, so how is it even possible to oppose the war without opposing the troops? By “oppose the war,” I don’t mean people who want to go back in time and never go to war in the first place, but the people who advocate withdrawing from the Middle East tomorrow and who continually criticize what our troops are doing. To oppose the war in that way now that it has started is to oppose the mission of our troops. How is possible to support our troops when you oppose the thing for which they are working?
It seems to me that the people who do stuff like throw buckets of manure into recruitment offices, while they are obviously juvenile, at least are being honest about their opposition to the troops.
