My sister got arrested for protesting (she was blocking traffic in downtown SF) while I was over there, and I'm all for it! I think its terrible if the media or the political establishment act like anyone who questions the war is automatically against the troops. when counterprotesters made this argument to my sister, she countered it by saying, "I do support the troops, my brothers over there, i support him so much I want him home safe!" which made me laugh. :)
I've worked with the cantadian military, good bunch of professionals....

: I preface this by saying I am Canadian, so take this for what it is worth.
: I think the problem with a question like this is, everyone is way too passionate one way or the other. And I think you can also be afraid of coming across as if you don't support the men and women who are giving their live to the cause when you don't support the 'cause. It's unfortunite that the very thjing you are supposed to be fighting for over there is censored by our own inner demons and self consciousness here.
