What I Don't Like Is..

Often the magnets will say "Support Our Troops." Not "I support our troops" or "our family supports our troops" or "this SUV supports our troops." It's about forcing other people to a) support a war that few people in this country approve of and b) not speak out against the military or else it's some kind of slight against the soldiers who fight in it.
It's kinda disturbing.

Well, of course I agree with you.
The best way to support the troops is to bring them home. -
We have a "support our troops" ribbon that says, "Bring them home." There are several versions of it out there.
I kinda see a difference between supporting our troops and supporting the war. That's what makes it so tough for Congress when they get these military spending bills, I think: Given that troops are *still* there, we kinda have an obligation to send them the things they need. That's a somewhat separate issue from whether they ought to be there at all. -
You can disagree with the war and still support those who are making such a sacrifice....our troops.

Yeah, you're right about that. Not that many are actual involved in "supporting our troops!"
