1. Boy that's a complicated one

It's difficult to make a reasonable comparison here, because there is a very important difference between supporting a mass murderer who went out with the intent to kill or injure hundreds of innocent civilians and supporting troops who go out to fight a determined enemy that hides amid countless innocent civilians.

Personally, I draw a very stark line between supporting our troops, who are obligated to fight whatever wars we allow our elected representatives to call upon them to fight, and supporting those wars.

That's probably a distinction at significant play in those polling numbers.
