If some American speaking out against the war is so demoralizing to the troops then they must not believe so strongly in their cause to be so easily swayed. When our "chicken-hawk" president sends his daughters there for "the cause" then I will believe it was more than, getting even for the daddy's failures. Bill is right, there were far greater dangers in other countries but this one was an easy pushover, or so he thought. If you belive in the cause so much go re-enlist.
