While it's a great marketing phrase that everyone uses, it seems to mean different things to different people. For example, to the pinko commie liberals, "Support the Troops" means advocating their well being by keeping them alive and allowing them to enjoy the freedom they are supposedly protecting. But to the neocon chickenhawk replublicans, "Support the Troops" means keeping them alive long enough to kill a few more bad guys in much the same way a Rook supports a Pawn in the game of chess. very true.

In either case, the will of the individual must surrender to the will of others :-( What I find most revolting is that so many within our nation don't grasp this simple reality :-( Nice observation Chris! :-)
