I think all that pro-troops stuff in the United States is two things:
1. Spitting on them and calling them baby-killers: Done during Vietnam. Didn't end the war. Now understood to have been kind of a shitty thing to do to actual human beings.
2. A cunning plot by political marketers so that anyone who dares to question any American military action ever gets this, "What's the matter, don't you support our troops? Want to spit on them and call them baby-killers?" ... um, no, I just kind of wondered whether maybe there was a way to solve this problem without quite so many people ending up dead, but never mind, I see I am evil and must not ask questions.
