Shrub and his wingnut minions can continue to delude themselves--at the entire country's expense, unfortunately--but here on the reality based side of the fence, articles like this further underscore the futility, not to mention the insanity, of continuing with Operation Keep Commander Guy's Ego Sufficiently Salved:
WASHINGTON - A new Pentagon survey of troops in Iraq found that only 40 percent of Marines and 55 percent of Army soldiers would report a member of their unit for killing or wounding an innocent civilian
n the first internal military study of battlefield ethics in Iraq, officials said Friday they also found that only a third of Marines and roughly half of soldiers said they believed that noncombatants should be treated with dignity.
The study also found that long and repeated deployments were increasing troop mental health problems. And it showed that more than 40 percent of Marines and soldiers said torture should be allowed to save the lives of troops.
Bad things...bad things.
