1997 Small Comfort

Don't you think the troops get awfully tired of the nonsensical phrase, "We support the troops, but not the war." How many gays would be happy to hear from parents and friends, "We support you, but hate your sexual identity and believe it is a sin," or how many artists want to hear, "We support your decision to be an artist, but my God, that thing's ugly; what does it mean!"

So although I'm sure the troops were happy to meet with the VP, think what some support from home would mean in bringing this thing to a close.
