At the gym, running on the treadmill, watching cable news.
It is obvious supporting the troops means whatever you want it to mean.
As John Podhoretz wrote for NRO--
Nobody who actually supports the troops says "I support the troops" any longer. The words "I support the troops" are now solely for those who oppose what the troops are doing.
Of course, when two opposing sides of a debate use the same language, the coopting side usually wins.
Therefore, it is incumbent for one side--the victory caucus--to develop a different message.
I propose something simple, that can fit on a bumper sticker, and is unequivocal in meaning:
Support the Troops:
LET THEM WIN
Support independent filmmaking in Iraq--BUY A DVD
