Of course they don't. They only care about pushing their political agenda which is basically anything they can to do make people dislike conservatives.
Great reminder Butterbar Bob. Where was their undying love for the troops when the Democrats were trying to discount the military absentee ballots? Where were all of the Democrats then? They were too worried about some welfare slacker who might not get to vote. They don't care about the people who are putting their lives on the line to protect us.

Why not get to the bottom of this all? How many of the "support the troops" people really care about the people of Iraq? How many will still care what happens after the troops leave?
Most of the "Support The Troops/Bomb Hanoi" people did not give a d.a.m.n. about the Vietnamese people 32 years ago. Once all the troops had returned, there was no reason to support anything. So, why all the pretense now?

Yes I think it does help the troops,the only problem is,we seem to protest about the wrong things,protest the fact that a military sgt can work on an airplane doing the same job as a non-license mechanic,be his supervisor,and make half the money.protest the fact that when some military came in the service,they were told that they would have dental,and medical paid for them and their dependents until the dependents reach a certain age,if they retire.also the fact that some military pay is so low that a service man/woman qualify for food stamps,while a person who have never served their country or the private sector,can get aid to cover braces,root canals,operations,childbirth,and shelter for having sex out of wedlock and not know who the father is.these are the real concerns of service men/women.peace!!

No they do not. I have talked to about 10 Marines who have come back from Iraq, and they all said it was a fun experience, and that the general populace in Iraq love them. The only Iraqis that do not like Ameircans, are the thugs and warlords who cannot wage an all out war with us there.

You are not open to answers that anti-Iraq invasion people will give. You seem to equate caring what happens to the troops with support of a war started on false premises, continued with further patterns of deception, and in the end a quagmire with no clear end in sight. When you analyze this war, you will see that Bush has never stated what his idea of victory is that has any measure in reality. I support the individuals who make up all of the armed forces and wish them long productive lives. I wish them either home or really confronting bin Laden, or the drug cartels that poison our society, or rooting out organized crime in our backyards or being present in case there is another Katrina-like catastrophe.

How can somebody be 'supporting the troops' while they are working to see that those same troops get defeated?

By my way of thinking they Harm our troops. I have been in the military during war and I know how the protest lower moral and distract our people but I also believe it boost the other sides moral. I don't believe most protesters are doing what they do with the intention of causing harm but they don't understand the effects of their actions. IMO the protesters in their mind feel the are doing a service to our fighting forces.

I remember how outraged they were when they found out that the Democrats had lawyers in every jurisdiction in Florida trying to invalidate all the absentee ballots from overseas military...
Oh, that's right, they didn't say, "boo" about it.
Can anybody tell me why I should believe in the Democrat claim to care about the troops, when they tried to disfranchise them in 2000?

You mean the "united for peace" protestors who spat on the veteran who lost half his leg and then fought to go back because he was wearing an 82nd Airborne Division sweatshirt? No, I don't think they support soldiers.

we just want then to come hope and stop supporting and doing stupid missions that can get them killed. We support their wanting to come back, but we condemn their willingness to support a evil president who's sending them to their graves. We all want them to come home, but bush wants more blood, and these troops are willing to die for his thirst of power, thats sad.
