Support Everyone's Troops?
Robin Hanson has a “Support Everyone's Troops” bumper sticker. I suppose that means conscript armies should be supported in their goal of staying out of jail (sometimes this can be done most easily by regime change) and blackmailed armies should be supported in their goal of keeping their relatives from being tortured (sometimes this can be done most easily by assassinating terrorist leaders) and mercenary armies should be supported in their goal of earning a decent paycheck …
Hmmmm … Would “Support Everyone's Troops” (or at least support as many troops as possible) mean that the largest volunteer armed forces should be supported in their goal of victory?

It sounds to me like a roundabout way of saying "I support Al Quaeda". They are "troops" after all, aren't they?
