What military lifers think (that the media isn't telling us)

kos has a great post up on the above subject...

a teaser...

The Military Times newspapers polled their readers -- active duty subscribers to their papers -- and found that (surprise!) they don't want to see the war escalated.

It has now been four days since the Military Times released its annual poll of active duty troops. The poll, which came out last Friday, contained some striking findings: It found that for the first time, more military personnel disapprove of President Bush's handling of the Iraq war than approve of it.

But there's a more important number in the poll. It also found that only 38 percent of the troops think there should be more troops in Iraq than there are now -- in other words, only 38 percent support an escalation. By contrast, 39 percent of respondents think there should be the same or less troops there.

FOUR DAYS since the poll was released and, as far as i can tell, NO major media coverage... my god, we certainly have an obedient propaganda machine masquerading as a free media establishment...
