No, because he's dead wrong. Soldiers disagree with his BS. Some do but more and more do not. There's a guy here where I live....37. Got back sick months ago from Iraq. Took a hit in his leg. He's going through extensive therapy but that's the least of his problems. As so many of these guys, he is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD]. Do you know how debilitating that disease is? Do you know its been six months and he has not been able to go to work? Do you know that he is terrified he won't be able to provide for his wife and two kids? Do you know that's he's afraid to leave the house? Do you know that he played football in high school and now doesn't like even watching a game? Why don't you come over and talk to him about Iraq? He'll tell you about the hellhole that is Iraq and how much he agrees with that article. And he is not the only one. So far thousands have been diagnosed with PTSD. It was a major problem after the Gulf War and it's even a bigger problem now. All so that Bush can have his crummy, little war so that he will get a good job in the oil industry after his presidency when they repay him for his presidential generosity. BTW have either of the Bush twins signed up to fight? How about Cheney's kids; grandkids? How about Rummie? How about any of the so called 'august' GOP senators who promoted this war? If this war is so important, why is it only the kids of the poor who are fighting? What a spectacle you all are..............and you call yourselves Americans. You are puppets for a man who does more bikeriding than presidential functions. You should be ashamed.
