supporting the troops IS supporting the war... this war is ILLEGAL, and these troops are committing murder... i feel no sympathy for these troops whatsoever... they are soldiers who enlisted to play with death... so if they die, and die they will, then that is simple probability...
what isn't simple probability are all the baghdad civilians who are being killed and who are watching their hometown being demolished...
if this is really "operation: iraqi freedom", how come their city streets are being blown to shit? how come bush calls oil a valuable resource to the iraqi, but doesn't consider their business buildings to be "valuable" at all, when blows them off the face of the earth...
being patriotic means standing up for what you think is best for your country, even if it goes against your leaders...
let me ask you, what would it mean to be patriotic for an iraqi? you say, that supporting your country's leader even though you disagree with him is being patriotic.. well in that sense, then iraqis should support saddam hussein, and be "patriotic" and unite with their leader in this time of war...
being patriotic means nothing more than loving your country... and that CAN mean disagreeing with your leader... the majority of americans did not even vote for george bush... were they being unpatriotic for voting against the future president? for disagreeing with him?
i suggest you take a step back, and get some other perspectives on this, because americans are aboot as brainwashed as they come...
and that is the entire point of Bowling for Columbine... and thats the very reason it's recieved such international AND american acclaim.
do yourself a favour and see the movie, if you haven't already..
