Not just from politicians (Barack Obama, and now John McCain) but also when those words are used by the peace/activist movement to make their point.

Interested in why I take exception? Read it at my blog, Dying to Preserve the Lies. And it has little to do with this political football of 'patriotism' and 'support the troops' propaganda and more to do with compassion.

Someone please explain that.
