The Left supports the troops as long as they refuse to fight. This is the sort of thing we get from The American Prospect, a left-wing magazine:
A striking number of officers have chosen to leave the armed forces–by deciding not to re-enlist after completing their official military obligation, by turning to civilian lawyers when they are told to deploy to Iraq, and, increasingly, through desertion. Among those who remain in the military, morale is low, largely because of the damage caused by Iraq.
How many Army officers have deserted ? She writes:
More than 25,000 soldiers and officers have deserted since 2003; more than 200 have sought refuge in Canada.
I would certainly like to see evidence of this number. I simply don’t believe it. But this is how te Left supports the troops.
