"The point of public relations slogans like "Support our troops" is
that they don't mean anything... That's the whole point of good
propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody's going to be
against, and everybody's going to be for. Nobody knows what it means,
because it doesn't mean anything. Its crucial value is that it diverts
your attention from a question that does mean something: Do you support
our policy? That's the one you're not allowed to talk about.": Noam Chomsky

By Joe Bageant

citizens whose role in the greater scheme of things has been to cushion
national economic shocks through the disposability of their labor,
with occasional time off to serve as bullet magnets in defense of the
Empire. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27914.htm
