French magazine: 1,700 U.S. soldiers quit Iraq Kyodo News highmarkfunds.stockpoint.com Posted 12/4/2003 6:24:00 PM December 4, 2003: This is a very interesting article. The key problem with the article is the lack of an official source to confirm the AWOL US soldiers. VCS is posting the article because this is what the international press is circulating to the rest of the globe. 1,700 U.S. soldiers quit Iraq: French magazine PARIS, Dec 04, 2003 (Kyodo via COMTEX) -- One thousand and seven hundred U.S. soldiers have deserted their posts in Iraq, with many of them failing to return to military duty after getting permission to go back to the United States, according to the French weekly magazine Le Canard Enchaine. The magazine, known for its satires and exposes, said the French intelligence agency obtained the information from what it described an "American colleague." Citing a senior French official posted in Washington, the magazine also said that 7,000 U.S. soldiers have left Iraq allegedly due to psychological troubles and other illnesses. Some 2,200 others sustained serious injuries including the loss of limbs, it said.
