I'll buy into this when you see hundreds of thousands of Iraq veterans protesting in the streets of D.C. Until then, I will have to go with the fact that most troops in Iraq support the war, with the only accurate measure that i have seen thus far being that the majority of troops voted to re-elect Bush.
i would be happy and interested in seeing any studies or wide ranging polls that indicate that anything more than a modest percentage of troops are against the war for valid reasons.

The lock-step propaganda isn't working on the military anymore. The eyes are opening. Walter Reed showed the troops and America what the true priorities are - a$$ covering, political face saving and screw the troops, their families and the truth.
Uh, If, you merely dodged the question and posted another, similar web site. Give us membership numbers, please.

Supporting a war does not mean that you do not or can notsupport a realistic conclusion to the conflict. I think too many folks get stuck on thinking black and white;that you either supporta war or don't, and if you support the war, then you must believe in ongoing conflict. Things are just not so clear, simple and easy with many servicemen and women.

When i was in the US Army we always voted. Most of the time we did not know who we were voting for. Even today most troops are detached from politics. i've had several military friends who have head/brain injuries due to concussion from IEDs.They were really p!$$#d when they found out that the chickenhawk party in congress cut troop brain injury research.
Yeah, I know. I sent some guys to a jobsite the other day and it actually RAINED!!
Can you BELIEVE the GALL of me??? I KNOW I must have told them there would be rainy days AND sunny days. HOW DAREI do that?

There's anew organization out there!
Your comparison of military service and serving in a hostile theatre to that of a 40-50 hour a week job in the US which you can quit at any time and leave, clearly shows you lack of understanding and experience.
