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.

I don't know if it matters to you - but I was speaking only during war time. Clinton was not President during war time.
I think it is wrong to tell an American soldier that his commander is an ass hole and has no business causing this war - bad for moral.
