Reply #6: Big effect on morale [View All]

[tabasco]

Troops affected by stop-loss want to be somewhere else. It's a challenge for commanders to motivate these troops. If there was any just cause for this war, the troops would know it and would be behind it. But the war has been exposed as unnecessary, and the troops know it. Our military people are not stupid. I think a lot of military people are fondly remembering the peaceful Clinton era, when the President kept his sacred trust to commit troops only when diplomacy failed.
