The day Dale Earnhardt died, a helicoptor on a training mission went down in Hawaii and all aboard died. Lots of people were crying over Earnhardt, but no one said anything about the troops. He was doing a risky job for millions, the helo crew was doing a risky job for much less. No one had Support the Troops stickers on their cars pre-9/11. Why not?

Because the military is always the forgotten child (by most people) until time of need.
Most people don't understand the military is always on point.

Some of us supported them before. It's rather sad that all some people do is slap one of those magnets or bumper stickers on their car and they think that's supporting the troops.

I would have to say that it was probably due to the fact that we were not in a war at that time. Just my guess though.
