Most Americans do not consent to the continuation and escalation of the Iraq War, hence the search for ways to protest and challenge the lying, undemocratic Bush administration.
If you truly are concerned with the welfare of the troops, you ought consider dedicating your energies to the VA's hostile and systemically disruptive posture towards our veterans receiving the benefits and respect that they richly deserve.
You may wish to consider the proposition that opposing the Iraq policy that has resulted in some 30,000 American casualties (and over one million Iraqi casualties) is a civic duty and an endeavor that greatly benefits the US military, our country and indeed humanity.
