Jackie Corr sends along a string of letters from Stars and Stripes about troop morale in Iraq. A lot of it is routine grousing, but an interesting undercurrent seems to run through the letters he selected. While we have been hearing complaints here that the media are ignoring positive developments in Iraq and emphasizing death and unrest, the complaint there seems to be the opposite: The brass keep talking about how great things are going, and ignore the problems. Once again, it sounds an awful lot like the Army I served in.
