Right on here. "Support the troops" does not necessarily mean "support the war" now, does it? Well, as Golly-Gee-Dub famously put it, "We don't do nuance in Texas."<br /><br />You know, in contrast to what people might expect from me, over the years I've come to support both the draft and even perhaps a required period of military service. Personally, I think that would lead to less war, not more, by giving everyone a real interest in where, when, and to what purpose our troops are being deployed.<br /><br />At the very least, it would prevent that divorce from reality that we have here: where wars are fought "over there" for some vague notion of "freedom." We, and our troops, deserve better.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584174478393760131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-15583365943611379062011-11-11T08:02:02.917-05:002011-11-11T08:02:02.917-05:00Wonderful piece.
