The left's mask of "support" for troops slips

At the rally of the phony anti war demonstrators recently, a veteran whose leg has been amputated was spit upon. The verbal spit was flying yesterday from a Washington Post blogger who was upset with what the troops said in the NBC report linked here earlier where the troops said that if you really supported the troops you would support the mission. That is an entirely reasonable position, but not to Arkin. You can find the link and excerpt to his piece at Michelle Malkin's blog along with links to several heated responses.

Opfor's response is also a don't miss.

Update: James Lilek in his Bleat has this:

...

No, that’s not fair; he’s entitled to his opinion. But it’s another thing to express it. It’s almost as if the actual troops think they have some sort of absolute moral authority to have an opinion, and this gives them the right to express themselves without considering the impact that might have on people who disagree. They do have a moral authority, but only when they’re killed, and it transfers immediately to the closest relative who disagreed with the mission.

There is much more near the end of his piece after you get by the pinky swear tickling of Gnat.
