Don't get me wrong, I DO support the troops. They do work that I would never want to do and they should be commended for that everyday. However, everytime I mention anything political (and it won't even be about the troops), some Republican has declares, "well, you hate the troops. You don't support our troops."

They don't need nor do they want to be commended for their work every day. That's the thing they don't expect it at all. Is it nice when it happens sure it's better than being spit on and called names like our guys coming home endured during Vietnam.
The only time I would say something to you about not supporting our troops is if you posted something stupid about them or made a GreasyBruce tinfoil hat blanket statement essentially calling everyone in the armed forces everywhere murders.
Attacks on some of the troops behavior is warranted if it can be backed up with facts (Abu Ghraib) but it does not apply to all the troops across all the armed forces. Which people tend to do.
Lastly you don't have to even support a war, I didn't think Iraq was a good idea but I don't blame it on the troops that had to go, it's not like they had a choice. We had Saddam under our thumb and he had Iraq under his. There was no reason to change that.
So no, not all Christians and Republicans (your blanket statement) guilt trip you but Noah's sacrifice and courage during and after should be commended and recognized with this award.
I’ll make it easy on you runner up deniers. Here are the two options:
1. He was either considered and rejected
2. Or worse not considered at all.
The only hoax is the media’s weird inability to see the truth.
