No, I said it's no more impossible than being against the war and still being supportive of the troops.

How can one "support" the war if one hasn't actually enlisted to go fight in it?

For clarity, I should said that I fail to understand the mindset that 'advocates' for a war with no intention of fighting in it. Support was the wrong word to use, I think.

All those groups would make effective suicide bombers for our side, no? But seriously, I make the distinction between those who can't fight in a war they believe in and those who won't.
