As the person who conducted the In T View,
if you click on the link at the bottom , and read the whole thing, you will find that about 80 percent of the respondents were in favor of their service/serving in
Iraq. I sent out hundreds of queries, but the DOD has
really cracked down on MilBloggers, so few were willing to give their opinion.
