Given a choice of being home in Texas, or on a pristine beach in Florida, or driving through New Hampshire on a crisp October morning, or being in a hellhole filled with ingrates like Iraq, I suggest the soldiers would choose to be at home. Furthermore, I suggest most people, if polled in that way, would say the same.
This is not the same as saying that people don't recognise there is a duty to perform, and aren't willing to perform that duty.

No, this is a leftwing attempt by these soldiers and their allies in the MSM to undermine the war effort. They need to be drummed out harshly from the military and ABC needs to get kicked in the teeth for supporting this crap.
There wasn't a day in Vietnam, that i didn't want to be home. Every Marine, Airman, Sailor, and Soldier wants to be home.
My son is LCDR in the Navy, he sent one of his sailors home because she took on the ship. She didn't like the Sea duty.
From what I understand...these messages are being written by the soldiers themselves...not just reported.
