SOCIAL: a letter from the troops

Check out these fascinating survery results of troops serving in Iraq.

The most shocking (or maybe the least given our commander in chief):
Nearly nine of every 10— 85 percent— said the U.S. mission is “to retaliate
for Saddam’s role in the 9/11 attacks,” while 77 percent said they believe
the main or a major reason for the war was “to stop Saddam from protecting
Al Qaeda in Iraq.”

It's also interesting the breakdown between reservists and regulars. I'd
have been interested in the breakdown between officers and non-coms, but
not sure they recorded that.
