I remember all the "support the troops" bumper stickers and magnets. I wanted to buy one that said "support the troops: demand their return home."

But no such thing exists lol

even when it was obvious we were lied into a war, the attitude seemed to be it didn't matter because you couldn't let the troops think they were dying for nothing/a lie. As if somehow that makes things BETTER for them?????? "Sure, i just got blow to pieces by an IED, but at least the people back home helped me maintain the delusion it wasn't for nothing!" I think any of those troops killed would rather have come home and seen the people that got their brothers and sisters killed sent to prison.
