Just so you know my background.<br /><br />Since the survey I quoted was from a larger group of soldiers than your group, you might want to widen your group. I find your results interesting since over half say they are happy with their job but will not re-enlist. That doesn't seem to jive. There was a lot of complaining when I was in too, but in the end most were proud to serve and did re-enlist. I know, I almost got out after 10 years.<br /><br />My experience via email, letters and blogging by those serving in Iraq mainly support the results of the military survey.<br /><br />The military's support of Bush is further evidenced by the overwhelming numbers who voted for him.<br /><br />As for the war in Iraq, many of the same problems were encountered in Afghanistan. Thanks to the brave men and women such as yourself, the Afghan people can enjoy many of the same freedoms so many of us take for granted.<br /><br />Stay safe and thanks for your service to our country.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13085416816714154275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6675909.post-1104315276069081142004-12-29T10:14:00.000+00:002004-12-29T10:14:00.000+00:00www.winter-raven.blogspot.com
