9. In case there was any doubt
Edited on Tue Oct-21-03 09:55 PM by JudiLyn
see this snippet from the article:

A survey based on almost 2,000 questionnaires distributed by the Pentagon-funded Stars and Stripes newspaper in August found that one-half of those questioned described their unit's morale as low, their training irrelevant or inadequate, and their re-enlistment plans non-existent.

The troops also complained about the tours provided by the Pentagon to visiting dignitaries, including top military officers, congressmen and senators. They said visitors were generally shown only hand-picked troops who could be relied on to show enthusiasm for their mission and who did not represent the views of most troops.


Remember the glowing reports being broght back from Iraq and brandished triumphantly by Republican Congresspeople, and administration officials.

Remember we read last week, near the weekend, that DEMOCRATS ARE BEING KEPT OUT!
