What it says is that she doesn't believe that the politicians who sent your husband over there did the right thing. She has every right to that belief.
I think that's a lot differnt than not supporting him and them.
If you want to see non-support for our troops, take a look back at the Vietnam era. I don't think our troops will be spit on or ridiculed by the any portion of the American public when they return.

I think you have got it right.... in other words she supports the individual troops but not the people that sent them there... they are doing the best that they can do with the job they were handed. However she doesn't support the reasons they are there in the first place..... much like myself.... I know many troops over in Iraq (and Afghanistan like one of the two 2 Canadians killed today) and I have sent them care packages and exchange letters. However they know I was completely against the reasoning that sent them there.... I respect and admire the individuals over there and they respect and understand my objection to the mission.
