[censored] 'support our troops, oppose the war.' Any man with a conscience who doesn't like what he's doing can quit at any time, even if at times his only choice is one slightly less terrible option over another.

What if quitting violates an oath he took, and through the taking of which he knowingly surrendered the option of quitting due to policy preferences?

Yeah, it seems to me that the consequences of this line of reasoning are that the only moral possibility is to not have a standing army, which seems impractical.

not true. the oath/military code of conduct has outs. outs which should be exorcized when asked to kill in a preemptive, unilateral, war of choice. some brave sevicemen have already gone this route. those are troops i can support!
