Some Troops Say "Bull Shit!"

"Weather or not the troops support the war in Iraq has been a contested subject since the initial invasion. If you make your judgment based on the “Troops in Support Of the War” article in April 13th’s Washington Post you would tend to believe that the majority of soldiers back the war. However, unlike the author of the article, I was at the town hall meeting where Rep. John Murtha expressed his plan for a troop withdraw from Iraq based on a responsible timetable. A former Captain in the First Armor Division said “As a fellow Iraq Veteran who also attended and spoke at the Murtha Town Hall event I took away a different view.” “I understood him to believe that if we do not provide the proper equipment, man power, and support for them to win then we should not be putting them in harms way.” In fact, the majority of veterans that spoke publicly at that event addressed a desire for accountability of the leaders and administration in the fraudulent lead up to the War in Iraq, poor planning in it’s execution, or the mishandling of the following occupation. Most of the veterans attending had negative views about the War in Iraq."
