Do you support the U.S. soldiers in Iraq?

Notice that I didn't say, "Do you support the war in Iraq?" There's a big difference. You can still dislike the war while supporting the soldiers.
I've heard stories from people who lived through the Vietname war era that the US soldiers who were compelled to fight the war, were treated horribly when they got back home. Treated bad by other US citizens, even spit on in the streets.
It was as if the US public blamed them for the Vietnam war. Disgruntled people should have blamed the politicians, but they made our brave soldiers pay.
So, the question is this: Are we going to allow that to happen again? Will it be bad for the soldiers that come back to their waiting American families. Will we turn our backs on them too? Or, give them the welcome home that they deserve.
I think you know what my opinion is.
Proud to be an American and a soldier supporter, all the way! Those brave men and women of the US forces deserve our gratitude. They put their lives on the line every day, making sure that we can live in a free country.
Most don't have the option to simply quit just because they want.
So now you know the truth about me. I won't turn my back on the soldiers. Will you?
What's your stance?
