Then you're a perfect person to answer my question. Why is public support such a crucial ingredient to a professional soldier being able to do his job properly? I have even heard people recently postulating that anything less than the level of support they advocate is equivalent to treason, because it amounts to "giving aid and comfort to the enemy" in time of war. Huh?


Because we all need approval, feel needed and that we are worthy. Simple, some get it from a paycheck, others need it in leiu of one (the military). They believe they are serving their country the same as my group did way back when. Undermining it will only weaken us a a people and allow more .Gov incursions not the opposit. It is harder to go against your supporters than the detractors. Think about that one for a minute.

And any form of non-support does give aid and comfort to the adversary, it makes them bolder.

Now I promised myself I wouldn't do this any more, and I shall not.
