Airborne Ranger wannabee. Gets his rocks off yelling "Geronimo" & jumping down from his lifted truck in his combat boots & cammies.

I'm laughing my arse off here.

Dollars to donuts this clown has never even served. I bet he would probably develop a case of "Crap-pants fever" if the draft were reinstated.

you can support the "troops" that is the people on the group with food, things to keep them sain and the equipment they need to stay alive, and not support the wars themselves. I've had people take swings at me, when I try to explain this point of view, I guess its far to complicated for their small minds to comprehend.

the days immediately following World War I in Germany, when returning German soldiers blamed Germany's defeat on Jews, Bolsheviks and ohter "undesirables" who had stayed 'behind' in Berlin while the war was going on and had undermined the war effort with their defeatist attitudes.

All bullshit, of course, but Hitler rode it to power.

See also, "Vietnam Veterans were spit on when they returned home."

So this bumper sticker is really saying, "If you don't support our troops, i.e., 'stand behind' them, you deserve to be shot, i.e., "stand in front of them," as someone who is stabbing them in the back and causing them to suffer defeat at the hands of rag-tab bodies of irregulars.

I think your interpretation is absolutely correct. It's in the same league as Sarah Palin "Bullseye" and "Don't retreat, reload;" it's authoritarian dog whistling and sometimes siren-blasting, and other forms of (responsibility-) free speech.
