| Discontent rife in US military ranks |
| 2004-10-18 |
| With the US election just weeks away, some reports in the US media have provided a glimpse into the discontent among American troops in Iraq. Young soldiers, many barely out of high school, are seething with anger over being used to police the indefinite occupation of the country, against the will of both the Iraqi and the American people... Always good for a laugh. |

| #6 Amen Bill! I never saw a campaign or exercise where everyone was happy. Hell when we were in garrison and nothing to do we had people bitching about one thing or another. |

| #5 It is a soldier's right to gripe, indeed it is a long held tradition to gripe. But when it's time to go to work you always do the right thing. |

| #4 I think the Madhi army is mostly "whimpering" these days. |

| #3 Which army are the interviewing? Not the one I know people in, and hear from every day. Since they are "seething", maybe they interviewed the Madhi Army. |

| #2 I take it that "seething" is the new lefty term for either piteous whining or packing powder in one's belt? |

| #1 LOL the Freeking Socialist Party. Socialism is a terminal disease. Once a country catches it is down the tubes. |
