There's a difference in supporting soldiers and supporting the war--after Vietnam, too many people that hated the war took it out on the soldiers that had nothing to do with the politics of it. The thread was made to express respect and gratitude towards soldiers--which isn't a political issue--and not discuss the validity of the war, which is.
Not to mention, this thread wasn't directed at anybody except soldiers, and possibly other people who want to thank soldiers as well. If you didn't agree with the concept, you didn't even have to come in here, and nothing is being helped by people talking about how soldiers haven't done anything for them, and other assorted crocks of the like.
