I already asked this question in a specific subset of sociology, where I hoped to get an enlightened response, but only got the typical anti-war resoponses. So, to a more average, militaristic audience, where is the unity and support for the soldiers and their mission that existed in World War 2? I'm not saying to blindly believe whatever the politicians tell us. I have issues with how the war got started and things that have happened. But, shady dealings and bad decisions will always happen and always have happened (internment of Japanese Americans in WWII, segregated units, etc.), its in human nature. By holding rallies "against the war" (ie against their mission), you provide propaganda material for the enemy and hurt the morale of the troops. Morale effects the troops more than any civilian could understand, and it can result in additional casualties or emotionally damaged soldiers who questioned their decision to join (so don't say you oppose the war and support the troops).
