They are not really critical of soldiers. The soldiers are in this mess directly due to top management. A situation that will not improve under this administration.
How to support the troops. Eliminate their biggest problem. A president that refuses to provide troops with a workable strategic objective, an exit strategy, or a political solution. What is a soldier suppose to do when the president even lies about this as being a 'war on terror'. Hell. I don't see Al Qaeda or bin Landen in Iraq. What I do see are many people who resent American occupation for good reason. Soldiers placed in a classic 'no win' situation.
Please show me 1+ years after this unilateral invasion - where have things gotten better. Violence and death have increased. Eliminate the myths such as UT's Rape Rooms, WMDs, and aluminum tubes. We are left with an Iraq that will continue to worsen as long as America remains militaristic and intransigent. Ie. solving problems with helicopters and missiles. Support the troops. Given them a leader who actually has a brain instead of an agenda. Unfortunately, just like in Nam, the military becomes a victim of the president's personal agenda.
