how the repugs "support the troops"

Rush’s listeners flood VoteVets with hate mail.

In the past two weeks, as the controversy over Rush Limbaugh’s “phony soldiers” comments unfolded, VoteVets.org has been at the forefront of pushing to hold
Limbaugh accountable for disparaging pro-withdrawal soldiers. On MSNBC’s Countdown last Friday, VoteVets.org Vice President Brandon Friedman read aloud some of the hate mail the organization has received from Limbaugh’s listeners:

- “Do us all a favor and shoot yourself. You are a waste of human flesh.”

- “Tell the truth about Rush. You phony piece of [expletive].”

- “You traitorous bunch of [expletive] cowards.”

- “Rush Limbaugh is a great American, and you are a phony.”

Once again, I honestly cannot understand why a single military person would be a repug - it is completely beyond me. The repugs obviously do not respect them, do not do anything to help them in any way (from armor to leave time to health benefits), and seem to have nothing but contempt for them and everything they stand for and everything they are supposedly fighting for.
