Unless you’re right there to witness the morale of both my brothers and me, then you’ll just have to assume (and assume spells making an ASS out of you and me). My point in the rebuttal to this jerk wassn’t so much the percentage, but the attack from him/her against me after I POLITELY disagreed with him after expressing my gratitude with serving with his family members. He/she was a jerk for no reason except that I disagreed (sounds like the liberals we battle everyday, huh?). Nevertheless, morale regarding this campaign is very low. Either send us in to win or don’t send us in. Iraq was plain silly and a waste of your money and mine; if we had stayed focus on Afghanistan and had been given the rules of engagement in order to win, we’d be done by now. Now we are stuck in a winless cause that could have been won long ago.
We’re blurring some things here.
General morale is entirely separate from opinion regarding whether or not Iraq was a just war.
Morale of troops in Afghanistan is separate from morale of troops in Iraq.
There are ways to know what the troops think of the Iraq war other than being right there. And I am aware that support for the war has been significantly higher than 50%.
And another thing. You say Afghanistan could have been won, but now it’s somehow “winless.” A self-contradictory statement.
