Slow Mail Gets Troops Down, Report Says
From Reuters

WASHINGTON — U.S. troop morale in Iraq is suffering because of slow
mail deliveries caused by poor training, equipment shortages and bureaucratic
inefficiencies, a congressional report said Wednesday.

The General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress, said the
Military Postal Service Agency was not doing a good enough job in Iraq,
where U.S. troops are facing the highest level of violence since Saddam
Hussein was toppled more than a year ago.

In its 38-page report, the GAO said
it had surveyed 127 soldiers and
found more than half were dissatisfied
with their mail delivery, with many
waiting up to four weeks to receive a
package. In those cases, the Military
Postal Service Agency — operated
by the U.S. Postal Service and the
Department of Defense — was
unable to keep up with changing
deployment information among the
troops.

"These soldiers stated that these problems and delays had a
negative impact on the morale of deployed troops, as mail was
often their only link with family and friends," the report said.

More than 65 million pounds of letters and parcels were
delivered in 2003 to U.S. Central Command, the command
center overseeing the war in Iraq.
