No morale problems in Iraq?
This from Oliver Willis:
Survey: Iraq Morale Could Be Better (note Fox’s lukewarm headline)
A third of U.S. troops surveyed in Iraq said their morale was low and half said they are unlikely to stay in the armed forces, the military newspaper Stars and Stripes reported. Though the newspaper said its poll of some 2,000 troops was not a scientific sampling, the results raise anew worries that long deployments and the complex and dangerous mission in Iraq will prompt some to leave the military at re-enlistment time. In a companion piece to its story Wednesday, the government-funded Stars and Stripes said the commander in Iraq challenged the poll results. “There is no morale problem,” Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez told the paper.
… yeah, right. Is the military high command in Iraq smoking the same stuff the Bush Administration was when it decided to invade Iraq?!?
