I agree with Rudey. I have said it before. If you support our troops but not the war, you can volunteer to help a family that has a relative in the military, donate blood, or send letters and care packages.

It seems that you (and Rudey) have answered his question in part. In addition, a local TV station here is collecting funds, which are matched by United Way for families here who have service members on active duty. Some might also babysit or cook meals. I'll bet there are others.
Protesting is a time honored American tradition -- to before the American Revolution.
I would not take part in anti-war protests in this particular situation -- but if I chose to, it would not necessarily diminish my support -- or opportunities to support -- any single or group of soldiers.
With respect, feeling that it would is as myopic as some of the harsher protesters themselves.
