<HTML> From: Yoshie Furuhashi <furuhashi.1@osu.edu> I asked: "When and where did the slogan 'Support the Troops -- Bring Them Home' originate?  In the anti-Gulf War movement?"  I've received many fascinating replies.  Thanks to you all for replies on and off the listservs (L-I, LBO-talk, Marxmail, M-Fem, MLG, PEN-l, Portside [sent to its moderators], Rad-Green, Socialist Register, Solidarity). I have a few more questions: Q2  Why not simply say, "Bring the Troops Home _Now_," rather than "Support the Troops -- Bring Them Home"?  That's shorter, clearer, and more pointed, no? ****** CB: Because this slogan is in response ( and retort really) to the slogan "Support our Troops", and repeating that first slogan as part of the second makes the connection clear.</BLOCKQUOTE> </HTML>
