Support our Troops

[Carrol Cox]

One of our speakers at a large rally against the first Gulf War was a
philosophy professor and former marine machine-gunner in Vietnam. He
devoted his talk to rejecting the slogan of "Support our Troops,"
arguing precisely that that slogan, as a purported anti-war slogan, was
apt both to be ineffective with troops and to boomerang in ways Yoshie
is discussing.
