I don't know, I'm not there, but I suspect that sitting in the tents in Kuwait was a picnic compared to patrolling Baghdad these days You really think sitting in a tent for years doing nothing is preferable to helping rebuild a city and help a newly liberated people? It's clear even from the most jaundiced reporter that the great majority of Baghdadis are happy at the change. Even getting shot at occasionally by Ba'athists or Fedayeen is something soldiers are trained to handle, and less destructive to morale than doing nothing. Would you really prefer sitting in a tent in the dessert doing nothing for two years, or patrolling Baghdad? I swear, you must think soldiers don't react like normal human beings.
