Voting against funding is supporting the troops

This military action (war) should not be happening. period full stop. Not funding it will force Trump and Pentagon Pete to pull back and not put our armed forces in jeopardy. A vote against funding is the patriotic thing to do. A vote for it (under the wrongful guise of support our troops) is a vote for facisim.
All of our Democratic Representatives should understand this, All of them should say so.
