And that's not directed to Cindy McCain, it's everybody who says that wanting to get out of Iraq ASAP is not being supportive of the troops.

Second that!!!!
My other issue with her statement which I forgot to mention was her suggestion that people come to see the troops who are deploying and to see their smiling faces and them cheering and being excited to go serve are country. In my experience and i know a decent amount of guys who have been over there none of them were smiling or cheering or excited. And if it was their 2nd or more tour and knew exactly what it was like there they were even less enthused.
I think the idea that their happy and excited going over there is a complete fallacy. The suicide rate of military members is up. I dont know if its up by 2 or 200 people, the point is IT'S UP.... That wouldn't be happening if troop moral was up.
