Kate asks about supporting the troops without supporting the war, and I'm not sure it's possible. "Supporting the troops" as I understand it means "help boost their morale by assuring them that, now that we have made this decision, we're unanimous that what they're doing is the right thing." To that extent it may be more a support for the institutions that gave us the decision, but it is, in any case, an affirmation of the purpose at hand. Whether a war is justified or not, winning it is better than losing it, and committing oneself to it and putting questions aside once that decision has been made is important to doing it well. |
