When will the Soldiers say more about what happened to them?
It would help all of us figure things out for ourselves if the Soldiers could help us to understand better. There are some things that may need Correction. In particular, I am concerned about their POOR TRAINING FROM CIVILIAN CONTRACTORS, what appears to be an utterly incompetent job done by CIVILIANS handling "Security" missions related to the PRISONS.

And, of course, we NEED to know more about how "under-equipped" they were. Corporate Media wont' tell "U.S.".

We need to know more about these things, so that Americans can make up their own minds.

1. When they start letting some of these people GO
we'll be hearing more and more crap out of the mess in Iraq. As long as they're still under military orders, they're not going to be risking punative action from the Powers That Be.

2. When they're Totally Sure they CANNOT be recalled...
...and not one day sooner.

Sorry, but that's the truth.

5. That's pretty much the way I and a lot of people I know Feel abot
Corporate Media - The Lying Machine - Research shows that Media, in general, trend to FOLLOW GOVERNMENT LINES of Communication = Fascism.

Except for, maybe, the INternet, but just for a while some say, because Freedom will not be tolerated.

9. They also have the highest re-enlistment bonuses in the history of
American armed forces.

And I wouldn't be surprised if the Pentagon has twisted the definition of re-enlistment to include people that are caught in the stop-loss program.

You don't believe ~everything~ coming out of the Pentagon, do you?

10. Apparently, "we" don't believe the Pentagon when they say HOW MANY
Soldiers, and HOW MUCH Time, they need to do "our" Mission.
