Although I am very thankful we don't have the Vietnam-era hatred from the populace- I often wonder if this "love of the troops" (or social pressure to "support" them) makes our population less critical of our efforts overseas...?

From the vantage point of a FOG who was the receiver of the Viet Nam Baby Killer Award, on several occasions, I have the feeling that the current PC Left's LOVE for the troops is very shallow and transient. It FEELS like they would flip to their old ways in a second.
If you get into a discussion about the troops, they jump in with big smiles and lots of cheering.
If you look at what they actually do.. Nothing...
My K-mart rain gage is my FB wall. I post something about the troops on a regular basis. Not a lot of feedback..
On the flip, if one of the Left post anything anti-war,, there is a pile-on of supporters..
An Admittedly Jaundiced View.
