Let’s REALLY support the troops.

Over the years I have done a number of cartoons that dealt with the troops and veterans.

It has bothered me that too many like to chant “support the troops”, when that support is too often wafer thin, politically expedient, and self-servingly convenient.

The support is less about the troops, but more so about feeling warm and fuzzy, and it’s a form of competition to show who is more patriotic than whom.

The troops and the veterans are more used than they are supported.

These are those cartoons.
