Joel Stein, in his LA Times piece today, actually admits to what most of the extreme left anti-war crowd dance around, (he doesn't) support our troops.
I disagree with him 100% but at least he has the guts to actually state the obvious. When you spend all your time insulting the armed forces and/or cheering the insurgents in Iraq or Afghanistan, you can not then turn around and wrap yourself in the flag for protection.
It is still possible to be anti-war and pro-troop, but once you step across the line and actively try to sabotage the US war effort to score points, you've lost the right to make that claim.
