[Prometheus]

The support our troops campaign is nothing more then a cheap emotional movement to make people accept the war. "Support our troops" is almost a truism. No one will argue with it. The fallacy is in the assumption that supporting our troops equals support for the war. They use the emotionality of supporting our soldiors to sell the war. It is a textbook of an appeal to emotion and proof by assosciation. It is a flawed argument.

Saying you don't support the troops if you don't support the war makes as much sence as getting mad at my friend who works in the acounting department at Apple computer because I was sold a defective Ipod. Man people are dumb.
