Occupation, resistance and the plight of the GIs
CounterPunch - Gary Leupp

"Only the Iraqis can turn the tide of public opinion in this country,
by doing what they've been doing: making imperialist occupation
costly and untenable. (Gen. Wesley Clark has actually suggested that
if armed resistance mounts the U.S. may have to consider withdrawal
next year.) Meanwhile GI feelings of betrayal, and their desire to
leave the nightmare and get back home (where many were promised
they'd be by now) may also factor into Iraq's yet uncertain future.
As in Vietnam, the troops come to resent their officers." (07/01/03)

****If you haven't bothered to try and put things into perspective (instead of listening to the adminstration try and tell you everything is hunky-dorrie), this is an enlightening piece...but that's just this old curmudgeon's opinion...****
