A common theme in the "Iraq is wonderful, the media is just lying to you," storyline is that the soldiers on the ground, who should know what is going on better than anyone, all think that things are going great and that the media is distorting things, not telling the whole truth, ignoring the good news, etc.
Well, this indicates that we may not be able to trust what the soldiers are telling us:
“The message is clear,” says one reservist who is home for the holidays but has to return and asked not to be identified. “If you want to get out of this man’s Army with an honorable (discharge) and full benefits you better not tell the truth about what is happening in-country.”
Thanx and a tip o' the hat to Lunaville (link is from Sol at 3:03 am Jan. 15).
That is all.
