Look, I'm a cis man. I'm comfortable with my gender as it is perceived.
But I want *everyone* to feel that way.
If you are trans, non-binary, or even just questioning what you've been told you should feel about your own body: Uncle Gubbins has your back. You're loved.

I think that they're differentiating between "soldiers" as individuals (which the US treats like s***) and the nebulous concept of "the troops." Soldiers die, but "the troops" can't, because they're a construct.
It's always "support the troops," not "support the VA hospitals."

A lot of people responding here are prime fodder for cult movements (NOT new religious movements; those are not *all* cults), because they clearly think that *they* would never be 'debated into a cult.' It's a proven psychological methodology, not a real debate.
