A ferind of mine that is a soldier in Iraq just told me ....
"I registered a lot of soldiers to vote and got others the absentee ballot. So, we can also help elect the president. Trust me, Bush isn't amazingly popular right now."

2. That's welcoming news.
I don't know anyone in the armed forces so I love hearing any bit of news about what they are REALLY thinking about this war (not what the media would like me to believe).

4. I saw a car with veteran license plates recently.
It also displayed a KICK BUSH OUT sticker prominently on its bumper.

8. I am friends with an army captain over there who i chat with online
when he is able to. He tells me he can't wait to see Fahrenheit 9-11 and was a hardcore Kerry supporter way before Kerry won the primary. I should ask him next time if there is much anti-Bush talk amongnst the officers...
