I supported the war in Afghanistan which was the right thing to do. 9/11 also had a profound affect on me (maybe a bit more than some since I was born and raised in NYC). However, I never supported the attack on Iraq and still don't agree with that policy. However, not supporting our current kludge of an administration does not mean that I don't support the people who serve in our military and I personally take offense at those that try to tie support for the war with support for our troops.
