According to a
recent Zogby poll of our troops in Iraq:
U.S. Troops in Iraq: 72% Say End War in 2006
Le Moyne College/Zogby Poll shows just one in five troops want to heed Bush call to stay “as long as they are needed”
- While 58% say mission is clear, 42% say U.S. role is hazy
- Plurality believes Iraqi insurgents are mostly homegrown
- Almost 90% think war is retaliation for Saddam’s role in 9/11
- Most don’t blame Iraqi public for insurgent attacks
- Majority of troops oppose use of harsh prisoner interrogation
- Plurality of troops pleased with their armor and equipment
OMG! 90% of them think this is about Saddam's role in 9/11!!! WTF papers are they reading? Who is telling them this crap?! It's no wonder so many of them come back home, and are confused as fuck. Thats like going into a Ford auto plant, and the workers think their making huge, wasteful vehicles that Americans won't buy. Um.. wait a minute.... bad reference. Anyhow..We owe it to our young soldiers to know what the hell they're fighting for. You know.. um democrajesufreedoliberty stuff. Yea thats worth loosing a leg or a life over.
If you are surprised the troops don't know the truth of what is going on it may be because they are heavily censored.
From Wonkette:
But our embedded operative who sent us the initial heads-up sent an update.
Unfortunately anonomizers don't work out here (never have). Anyway, I had a few minutes today and thought I'd look and see what else was banned on the Marine web here. I think the results speak for themselves:

neil, i don't think they're 'dumb', i think a lot of them are UNEDUCATED (there's a difference). i think a lot of them were recruited specifically for this war. a lot of them don't give a flying yoo hoo about the where and the why and the fors. they do what they are told........
