If you were a soldier serving in Iraq
Edited on Fri Aug-18-06 05:42 PM by ck4829
What would you be more worried about? What would hurt your morale more?

A. The media reporting on some of the atrocious things that some of things that the 'low lying fruit' 'soldiers' do?

B. Your Commander-in-Chief who doesn't know that Shi'a is a denomination of Islam, that he and his fellow Administration members actively tried to avoid war when they were of military age, and they forgot to get enough money for body armor for you and armor for your vehicles?

On the Kos Peter Laesch post from Iraq . I can tell you right now they just want to come home in one piece. The only Media outlet thats on most of the Time is Fox News. They only hear good news not the bull crap here that the Replugs are doing

2. Toss up
B and C: the fact that I was risking my life for a meaningless war (unless Halliburtons yearly profits count)

3. I don't think they see the news as we do (in fact I know they don't).
And I sure don't buy for a second that some low level reservist called the shots "ala Abu Ghrab" -
And I am sure they know at least that. Although they don't look at reservists too well anymore - and that is just sad.

And that they give two hoots about the CIC - oh, no - I think it is running deeper - I think they have some deep concerns about some of the officers leading them, I sure do think that.

Joe
