It just occurred to me that we are getting ready to really fuck up in Iraq (Thanks Senate).
Gee, what happened in Germany when the Army was "defeated" and they didn't FEEL defeated?
The feeling that among the troops was very much along the lines that they had been stabbed in the back by the politicians.
The troops coming home from Vietnam had a similar problem, but what kept it from turning to violence at home was the conscripts didn't ever believe that we should have been there. Even though they didn't feel defeated, they were happy just to be home.
The troops in Iraq now feel they need to be there and that they can win. If only we would let them. And if we pull them back before they win, we might just have a colonel or general remember the "and domestic" part of his service oath.
