Does "Supporting the Troops" Mean Not Criticizing the War on Terror?

After a recent discussion with our resident liberal, Balboa, I’d like to pose a question to our active duty military personnel, as well as to the retired members here.

Often times, from our liberal brethren, we hear “I support the troops”.  All the while, decrying the goals, tactics, and strategic objectives of the United States of America. 

My question is this:

Does someone who actively criticizes, and/or openly attacks our efforts in the War on Terror, all the while professing a desire to return our active duty personnel “as soon as is humanly possible” support the troops”? 

Particularly without offering any alternatives? 

The thread takes a bit to wade through, but if you can read it to the end, you’ll understand exactly why I’m asking this question. Sorry I’ve linked to the beginning…I tried four times to pick it up in the middle, to no avail.  Try about a third of the way down.
