What about people who actually do support the troops and not the war. This is their honest belief and not simply PR. I can't tell you what anyone prays about except for myself because prayer is private between the person and God. Why would you personally care what those people prayed for????? Honestly you can't worry about what anyone else is doing. What are YOU doing!!!????? Worry about yourself. Channel YOUR own PERSONAL energies. You will drive yourself nuts worrying about the actions of others.

Do you think everyone who works at Wal-Mart is pro-war. Kindness does not take a particular political affiliation. I could be just as anti-war as the next person but if I see someone crying I will stop and talk to them and comfort them. That does not make me pro-war at all.

Without giving too much detail one aspect of my job is to councel younger students on campus. Have I done it ? yes!!! Have some of the latest people I've talked to been upset over the war, or because a loved one was deployed???? Yes!!! Did I stop what I was doing just to listen, to try and make them feel better, to let them know I'm there for them??? Hell Yes!!! Does that mean I am in favor of this war? Nope. It simply makes me a human being with a heart. Don't get it twisted, there are people who definately support the troops, the family's of the troops, who just support their fellow American's in general regardless of whether they have military family/friends or not and still don't support this war.
