Supporting the war takes more than hanging up yellow ribbons
In the end, the political rhetoric and opinion polls mean nothing. If Americans aren't signing up to fight the war, then it's over.
If you are one of those who supports the war, ask yourself this question. Why don't you sign up to fight it, or urge your children or others who are capable to serve to sign up? If you aren't willing to do that, then do you really support the war? Does that yellow ribbon on your car really mean anything?
If this war isn't worth interrupting your current civilian life to go and fight, perhaps it's not worth fighting.
The failure of war supporters to volunteer to fight speaks louder than any protester about what a debacle this has become. It's easy to send other people to fight your battles. But if you aren't willing to make any real sacrifice, then you have to question whether it's worth fighting.
