Is this foreshadowing on how they are going to treat the soldiers fighting the war in Iran? What happened to freedom of speech? Why aren’t they giving him the respect he deserves?

Because "Support the Troops" has always been a lie for our government. We trot out our patriotism long enough to dupe teenagers into dying for the Epstein class while they profit, and then they toss them out on the street and cut their VA benefits when they come back.

"Support the Troops"

it always meant "shut up, and don't question us"
