'Support the Troops'

‘Support the Troops’ needs to mean a whole lot more than simple cheerleading. And the cost of that support is being conspicuously left out of any estimate of actual cost of the war. We will be paying the costs of this war for at least a generation if not two when you factor in the trauma incurred by the children of the soldiers who do not come home at all or do not come home whole in body, mind or spirit.
