If you feel that way, I have a question:

If Obama decided to send troops to Honduras to reinstate their president, would you suddenly be on the side of Hugo Chavez, or would the troops become evil killers? Or would you support the troops yet be against how the administration decided to use them?
my daughter is in your army

if she falls in the field i would hate it even more for it to be invading some back alley dust bowl of a country where the army had no legal right to be there

but if some country was invading the states i would find her death easier to take as that is what she signed up for
