Another dolt.
The army is a
volunteer army. When they sign up, they know they can't pick and choose which wars they'll fight in. If the troops had studied their american history (admittedly a huge "if" given the nature of government schools) they would know by example of the vietnam war that sometimes the troops are ordered to fight an unpopular, even irrational war. Therefore, it's silly to say they were "stabbed in the back". So you are contradicting yourself by "supporting" people who either did or should have known what they were doing when they signed up. That you can't see this is because your brain has been rotted by appeaser propaganda for the simple-minded.
