Hating the troops is literally mainstream now. Remember Trump going mask off and calling them losers and suckers? That's not controversial anymore, you just can't say it out loud in polite company, but no one "respects" the troops except the biggest liberals and rubes. It's not some epic dunk on the right wing or the imperialists to hate soldiers, they don't like them either.
Imo this attitude should be exploited by the left. The best way to help "the troops" is to put an end to imperialist ventures they get sent on.
Goad the right into doing that whole "defend America" thing. Then point out the troops aren't defending America, they're starting wars in distant foreign lands.
