This is the crux of the matter with you. There is a difference between on
how revolutionaries within the oppresor countries and in the oppressed
countries should approach this question.

While in Germany, due to the fascist nature of the State, german
revolutionaries' work amongst the soldiers was clandestines a severly
repressed, it still happened, sometimes even as part of the same Comintern
that was blowing them up to smitthereens elsewhere.

In the USA, such work is less dangerous, and we can even openly organize
soldier's families. So lets do it. What the Iraqis do to the troops in Iraq
is up to the Iraqis, and we wish them victory.

The failure to see this is what demonstrates the political bankruptcy of the
"hate the troops" argument. Unless you are an anarchist, that is.
