Being against what is wrong with America, and loving the people and nation are not mutually exclusive. We are not perfect, and if we fail to fix what is wrong it will only get worse.
Your opinions are noted.....

The invasion, and occupation of Iraq did not give us any security. It only motivates our enemies more.
"support our troops" was Hitlers favorite line for silencing critics. The troops only do what they are told by their leaders, so the statement implies we should all do exactly as they tell us, rather than the other way around.
What you describe sounds more like communism than Democracy.
After you learn to read minds come back and tell me what I think, and what I hate.

You equate support for the war with support for America.
The two are not mutually exclusive. I can be against the war, and everything that led to it, and still love America.
It is my perception that I care MORE than you because the bad from this far outweighs the good.
The fact that we rolled through Iraq faster than support could follow proves that there was no threat. Saddam was a toothless old tiger with nothing left but a growl.
The ends do not justify the means.
As if the end had any value for America.
It almost seems like you care more for them than for our boys.
