But, have always thought Mr. Trudeau's cartoons to be supportive of the troops through a very well developed insight of what it is the be in the military and human.

Ignore them. This isn’t going to become a civil discourse. It claims to be the world's coolest punk-rock libertarian...whatever that self decription means. As far as I can tell it has nothing to do with cartooning, but comments profusely about any number of subjects using discredited Randian dogma. The dripping jealousy concerning GT is palpable. Most of us here would love to have a career and reputation of a "hack comic artist" such as Garry Trudeau! Monty Rohde

This is hilarious! A hack comic artist who makes his living twisting & lying about those he disagree with is called a hero for...DRAWING pictures of soliders in Iraq! Ha ha ha! Only in the leftist "sound-bite, anti-intellectual, pseudo-patriotic" media "with little or no attention spans" do we find people who worship & praise as a hero a guy who uses soliders to feed his lust for attention but NOT THE SOLDIERS THEMSELVES! Trudeau is no hero or national treasure, he's a spotlight whore! Our troops are the heros. Ha ha ha! This is hilarious!

This is just another case of our sound-bite culture, anti-intellectual, pseudo-patriotic people with little or no attention spans attacking some one who dares dissent or offer any reflective criticism whatsoever of our country. And in his case he has an armored personnel carrier load full of examples of his care for and appreciation from service men and women to REALLY put those ditto heads in their place. Carry on soldier, carry on! Good for Trudeau!

In fact, it's the complete opposite, which is why Garry Trudeau has received numerous accolades and awards from the military.

He had transferred from 13th A.D. to 191st Cavalry Recon. He drew cartoons downtime..mostly poking fun at the brass hats and bad food. One day, a huge staff car pulled in asking for Sgt. Rank. Yes sir, yes sir ( a Major & a 1st looie ) They nabbed my Dad. Everyone thought he was doo-doo. They went straight to advanced base HQ. There was Bradley, Patton, and Clark. Bradley said, "Soldier, Did you you draw these?" My Dad figured it was not a time to lie, "Yes sir. I did". Bradley, "GOOD, because we need a map maker; and these idiots can't draw a line! What's your rank, soldier?" "Sergeant, Sir!". "Mmmmmhh. That won't do." My Dad got a field promotion to Captain in order to be in S-2, where he was 'til war's end. Just because he was a cartoonist.

I think that this misunderstanding is what causes most of the knee-jerk reactions toward cartoons. People have become so insulated in their own opinion that they forget that it's a mighty big country and other people do exist that don't think like them.
