Look, the most effective sector of the antiwar movement addressing this 
question is "Military Families Against the War" that Stan Goff, whose 
anti-imperialist credentials are impeccable, helped to form. This is 
from their website:

Funding the War is Killing Our Troops
Support Our Troops
Fund a Safe and Orderly Withdrawal from Iraq and Care for Them as They 
Return

Joaquin is dead right to point out the murderous nature of the 
occupation but *propaganda* has to be crafted in such a way that is 
effective. You will not reach soldiers or their families with propaganda 
that forces them in effect to plead guilty to murder even if that is 
what they are doing.
