Support our troops

What exactly is the point of all those "Support Our Troops" magnets plastered on cars all over the place? Since everyone in this country (except for, of course, John Kerry and Michael Moore) does support the troops, aren't they redundant?

Perhaps the bearers of these magnets are simply more supportive, and thus more patriotic, than those of us who have not invested $3.99 in an automobile accessory proclaiming our unflinching dedication to the war troops. Maybe those of us without magnets are supposed to feel guilty over our unblemished bumpers. Or maybe people are afraid that when they drive down the street, people notice their lack of a magnet and think "Hey, that guy doesn't have a magnet! I guess he doesn't support the troops."

What would the neighbors think if you are the only person in your cul-de-sac without a magnet? Tsk, tsk, freedom hater.

This is the magnet that people should be buying.
