Military Shares the Public's Declining Support for Bush, War
According to a recent poll in the Fayettville, NC area which is the home base for Ft. Bragg, the XVIII Airborne Corps, 82d Airborne Division, Green Beret HQ, and tons of military families and retirees.
If Bush can’t hold their support it makes me wonder whose support he can maintain. Other than the usual gang of neo-cons, chickenhawk pundits, and Victor Davis Hanson of course.
I think it may have to do with the 2000 dead and 15,400 plus wounded (so far) and the endless deployments and lack of progress in pacifying people who chafe at occupation and in fact want to fight rather than vote. Without any progress on that end the soldiers no doubt feel as if they’re being slowly fed into a meat grinder for a mistaken anti-terror strategy that is well on the way to being wholly discredited.
