Somehow saying you support someone, but not what they're doing and you want them to give up and stop doesn't really sound like you're supporting them.
It's a good thing that's not what I meant then.

Try this:

I honor our troops because they are willing to risk their lives in my and my family's defence. Because I have such respect for them and for their lives, I don't want to see their lives thrown away in a war that I believe benefits neither me nor my country.
