Edmund Burke, the famous British conservative (often cited as a hero by right-wingers today) sympathized with the colonial rebels during the Revolutionary War and also wanted British and Hessian troops brought home instead of being killed in a needless war. Anti-Nazi Germans during World War ll wanted to see the defeat of Hitler but also were aghast at the loss of young German men's lives at Stalingrad and other places of horror. There is no contradiction. The real contradiction is your own; you claim to be a friend of the troops but you want to keep them where they are being killed, blinded or having their limbs shot off.
