I look back at what was done to some of the Vietnam vets returning home--it was awful and never should have happened. But should we have been there? Isn't that a valid question?
Bottom line, I don't think one precludes the other. I think you can support the troops but also question the motives of our leaders. Otherwise, in that regard, we really are sheep.

We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
