what do people really mean by "support the troops"?

Precisely, and this is an act of discrimination, which the admonition “Support The Troops” is designed to short-circuit.

“Support The Troops” suggests that there is no difference between soldiers that willingly murder and soldiers that object and resist;
it suggests that there is no difference between invading soldiers and defending soldiers.

All are, somehow, “equally deserving” of our “support.”
