I don't see why it has to be a unified movement to count . . . 100 people putting together care packages and writing to the troops individually does more than 20 people getting together in a church basement to do it together under the name of an "anti-war but pro-troops" movement.
Also, why are we asking this question only of the anti-war movement? Personally, I don't know of any unified pro-war groups that are doing much to support our troops either. Now granted, this may be because the great majority of people I know are anti-war (I only know a handful of people who support the war, and none of them are the type to send letters to the troops) . . . but I think those who are pro-war should be held to the same standards.
I think this is a good idea, though . . . I will bring it up to my friend so he can bring it up at his next Madison Area Peace Coalition meeting -- if they did something like this I would definitely help out.
