FALSE CHOICE ALERT!
One can support the war yet be too afraid to fight in it.
Supporting the war is a matter of recognizing right vs. wrong.
Fighting in it is an issue of bravery.
As an extreme example: Would you stop a robber with a gun from mugging another person? We all know it's wrong but few of us would have the guts to do anything about it.

Yes, I would especially since I have been there twice already: in 2003 and again in 2005. I do support the Iraq War because it is ultimately part of the War on Terror. Will we ever "win" this war?? No. Why?? Because we have freedom of choice. Each one of us have the freedom to choose what we want to do hence why Muslims choose to hate and destroy. If that seems like a racist answer, it is not. I do not hate Muslims but am sad that they choose such a destructive lifestyle but it is their CHOICE. I will do everything in my power to stop them from infringing on my right to freedom or for that matter any one else's.

regarding your example of right and wrong and bravery i give you this to chew on. If you belive in something enough you should be brave enough to act. Some people are passive in their beliefs and let wrongs go on day to day. Some people decide to take action because the wrongs that they see disgust them. Bravery is the ability to do something that you are afraid of.
If someone was being mugged at gunpoint and someone though that it was that horrid, they could stop it. They realize its a bad crime, but assume someone else will correct the issue: the police, the jails, the courts, someone.
If they didnt believe that, they would have to step in. So they can allow themself to be passive in their objection to the robbery because they belive the wrong will be righted by someone else. They are passing on the job of morality why they simply observe.
I dare each one who reads this. Act! dont just write in blogs or Y! answers, but act.
if this president offends you call your congressman and demand they vote against him. Help organize opposition canidates for office, do something.
too many people sit by and dont act.

If I were allowed, I'd go in a minute. Unfortunately, I have a permanent disqualifying medical condition.
I did serve in the Army, however.
