if you pro-war people had listened to us and joined us, we might have been able to save these people from this needless death.

we want to support the troops like the real mortal beings they are. we believe they would be better off here at home, with opportunities for education, healthcare, housing, useful and rewarding work, etc.

i don't call it support. i call it betrayal.
