Support the troops

While pondering the latest casualty figures here I thought about what it means to support the troops. It's a little like "think of the children" but that's another post. But I thought "Hmmm what thing do most people easily understand as a symbol or quantitative value...Money!" So then I thought "Hey what if everyone gave just $1 for every KIA to Operation Homefront." Then I went into a funk as I realized both the number of US dead (just US not even counting Allied or civilians) and that it would take an installment plan just to pay up to this point...
