[Vision2020] pledge

I guess it depends on what you mean by "supporting our troops". Having been  
there during Vietnam I can tell you that the troops there didn't think much of 
 the support they were getting from the American people and I was there while 
the  war was still relatively popular at home.
 
If you mean that most people think that the troops are doing their best to  
accomplish the missions given to them and that most of them are serving  
honorably then I agree that most people are supportive of our troops. 
 
If you mean by support that most people are appalled and angry that our  
troops don't have adequate body armor and are doing something about it, have  
taken the time to get the address of a person in Iraq or Afganistan and take the  
time to correspond regularly, including sending goodie boxes, have bothered to 
 take the time to see if there is anything that families with members in 
these  "wars" need, then I would say that the support for our troops is not very  
universal.
 
My guess is that most of our support for our troops consists of buying a  
magnetic stick on sign for our cars, probably made in China, applying it and  
loudly proclaiming our support for our troops.
 
For those of you out there that are really supporting our troops, "Well  
done".
