If you say you support the Military, how can you not support their mission?

I get a little fed up with these "peace at all costs people" saying that they support the Military but not their mission. Get real, if you believe that, you fall in the same camp with Osama and the rest of Freedom's Enemies. Tell me where I am wrong!

I don't believe war should ever be the answer. I don't support war but I do support the people who are sent to fight. I have someone very close to my heart in Iraq right now, not to mention a cousin who was there and many family members who served the military in war and peace times. My father and uncles had no choice but to go because of the draft. People now join the military for various reasons. Their mission may be awful but this is their job that for whatever reason they chose to sign up for. So even though I may hate what's being done in war I don't hate to people who have to give their lives to perform the duty that they were faced with. Maybe you don't understand because you might not have anyone close to you who is in the military.

What they mean is that the war is all wrong, the strategy, the means, the resources. The do support the people doing their jobs in extraordinary way thou the results are not appearing fast enough.
