I missed the debate. So genuinely I ask how is booing one man an example of not supporting the troops?
[edit] Ok, I just looked I up.
They booed his stance on dadt.
they supported the reinstatement of dadt.
they failed to cheer his service to his country.
And from this it is concluded that they booed him.
And maybe (probably) they did. Which in no way means that they do not support the troops.
And of course "they" refers to "several" people in the audience. I don't think it is accurate to start a thread with the title saying and implying that republicans don't support the troops when in fact several republicans booed one man who has an agenda they don't support. It is probably accurate to say that most republicans don't support the gay agenda. (though a quick google search indicates that I am wrong. It is actually a minority of pubs who do not support gay marriage for example.)
If homofascism were not so rampant maybe there would be less booing.
That being said it is time for service men to grow up and realize that they are going to be fighting along side able bodied gay men and to set aside any personal feeling they may have on the subject. War is about combat not agreeing with the people on your side fighting to keep you alive.
