All very true. I have been posting endlessly about the low morale of our troops, stretched far too thin in what promises to be an endless war. There are no Iraqi's on our side. They hate our presence there and want us out. Some of them are glad to be rid of Saddam, but now they want to be rid of us as well. A soldier back on leave from Iraq told me stories of little kids one day selling cans of pop at the entrance to a command post and the next day that same little kid is throwing explosive devices at the soldiers. Shades of Vietnam, indeed.
