You can't hurt a troop by defunding a war

In this essay, David Swanson examines the meaning of "support our troops" and the inconsistency in such a phrase when escalating a war or letting it rage on interminably. His conclusion?

If Bush vetoes a war funding bill, he will be doing so because it asks him to end the war someday and he never wants to end the war. He will NOT be cutting off money for troops. And neither will Congress if it does its Constitutional duty and slams the vault shut and ends the occupation of Iraq.
