I dont hate the troops by any means, but what I do hate is the people who shitpost on Facebook and somehow correlate every current issue with the military.
"Why are people complaining about the riots in Ferguson? There are soldiers in Iraq giving their LIVES at this very moment! Have some perspective"
Fuck the troops is harsh but I do not support them in any way..no end up feeling bad for them and frustrated in their thinking which usually just makes most people mad like I'm being condescending

Im friends with a guy who joined the military simply because he didn't trust the establishment and didn't want other incompetent people leading people into unjust wars. He is very antiwar, and fighting wars for hidden agendas. So he joined to try and do his part to minimize the hurt our military causes on the world. Can't really tell how successful he's been, but I do respect the choice he made. The military for sure hasnt changed him, so I suspect that means he's had a positive impact on the milirary. Hard to tell from the outside
In conclusion - Fuck the system, but \m/ to the troops.
I prefer the slogan "Bring them home," over "Support the Troops." In fact that's how I think we should support our soldiers, by not sending them off to die at the whimsy of rich old white men.
My original comment was sarcastic, but I do agree with Jake and NOLA on this. Even the current/former military members I know would agree with that too. It's refreshing to hear it from those on the inside as well.
