While I was walking past one of the mobile mortar units, Pte Gareth Stewart, 20, called me over. He said that he wanted the world to know that not all in the US army support an attack. "I have no beef with the Iraqis," he said. "This is Bush's war and I am not alone in thinking that." And that's why this blokes military career will not advance past Private.

Yes, I just saw this as reinforcing the idea that the Army is a meritocracy. The Captain knows why he's there, the Private hasn't a clue.
