Active-duty US troops become outspoken critics of Iraq war

Christian Science Monitor

 

“A recent op-ed about the war in Iraq charged that upbeat official reports amount to ‘misleading rhetoric.’ It said the ‘most important front in the counterinsurgency [had] failed most miserably.’ And it warned against pursuing ‘incompatible policies to absurd ends.’ Five years into a controversial war, that harsh judgment in a New York Times opinion piece might not seem surprising, except for this: The authors were seven US soldiers, writing from Iraq at the end of a tough 15-month combat tour. In books and professional journals, blogs, and newspapers, active-duty military personnel are speaking publicly and critically as never before about an ongoing war.” (08/29/07)
