Since the anti-war movement got cranked up, one of the slams against them was that they were tarring the troops with their rhetoric and actions.  After the shame of their actions during the Vietnam War, this was a very sensitive subject as most (definitely not all) people understood that the soldiers were doing the job they were ordered to do, and not setting the policy of where and when to wage war.

To that end, there have been repeated denials by members of the anti-war movement that they did indeed support the troops, just not the war.  But those denials ring false.  Words, it is said, are cheap, and actions define your true intentions.  And to that end, we have seen Moveon.org blast the General in charge before a word was spoken (Betrayus), and the members on the left for the most part refusing to condemn them.  Ok, a general does have more say in how a war is waged, but they still do not have a say on the where or when.

Now comes the latest in the "facto non verbo" demonstrations of the anti-war crowd.  It seems that the illustrious (?) city of Cambridge Mass. has decided that collecting care packages for US Troops is a forbidden activity.  This activity, one carried out by the Boy Scouts - an organization already on the black list for the left - was not to affirm or decry the war itself, but to make the lives of the troops who have volunteered to defend this country a little less stressful.

And Cambridge said no way. 

This is America.  That is their right in a free society.  It is also their right to lie, and that appears to be what this is all about.  Not their freedom to speak the truth, but their freedom to lie.  For the facts clearly indicate they do NOT support the troops.
