So you cannot back the troups and their mission if you don't support their Commander and his mission - can you?

Hmmm.....that's interesting. I remember during the Clinton administration there were plenty of people who would consider themselves in support of the troops while the lambasted the Commander in Chief.
I'm sorry, but I don't it as being black and white. You can only support the troops if you support the president. I have buddies who were in the marines during Clinton and they didn't support the president. Likewise I have a buddy in the army right now who's doesn't agree with Bush, but will carry out his mission because that's what he signed up to do.
But to say you can only be pro-president/pro-troops or anti-president/anti-troops is completely oversimplified.
