Since the Iraq War started (seven years ago), seventeen thousand AWOL incidents (more than 6.5 per day) have been reported amongst British troops.
Maybe it's time to support the troops who get thrown in military prison for 'desertion' or as it used to be called 'cowardice'? We used to shoot military men who were 'cowards' (WWI).

No other example more perfectly illustrates the polar opposites that are
'Supporting The Troops'
and
'Supporting The War'.
They are incompatible opposites. You can't have it both ways. Supporting the war is betraying the troops.
