G-man and r3x: It doesn't really matter what soldiers on the ground think. They are not policy makers and have a view of a limited area of the conflict. Can't see the forest for the trees?

r3x: Asking a subordinate to criticize a superior is rude anyway you put it. Bush is the Commander in Chief. Publicly criticizing him would be a violation of their oath.
