So if doing that puts our troops in more danger, then you're ok with that?
My point is that dissent against a bad war like this one will SAVE lives in the long run. It will make it politically more difficult for this president and future presidents to engage in ill-advised and unpopular wars. Preventing wars is what saves soliders from harm.

Maybe some of them do take some encouragement from the fact that most Americans think the war was a mistake. I'll accept my share of the responsibility for that. It's a small price to pay for keeping our democracy intact, for keeping our Bill of Rights intact, and for saving young people from being sent to die in fiascos like this in the future.
