What soldiers really think..

You hear a lot of people on the left, like Michael Moore and anti-war protestors say that they are pro-troop, that the troops don't want us to be in Iraq, that people in the Military will never trust America again, ect. And then there is the idea that troops are all just people too poor and dumb to do anything else.

That's what makes This NYT(!) editorial written by a soldier so interesting (h/t Instapundit). Seems pretty intellegent to me, and doesn't seem too unhappy with US policy. He also provides excellent insight into what's actually happening on the ground (and in the air) there.
