Marines look so sad in Iraq because they know as well as we should know that they should not be there any more. The American government is Fearful that if they pull out the troops all hell will break loose. But hell breaks loose every day because they are there. The govt will not be happy till there is some peace with them there and that is predicted to take ten years, maybe if they pulled out the Iraqi's could try to handle there own situation since the US so graciously got rid of there dictator for them.

Because they have been re-deployed over and over again.
These poor guys and gals have had their hopes up that they would be coming home to be with their families, but at the last minute they are told that they have to stay over there, in that Iraqi Hell-Hole, that the Bush regime will keep them in, until he's ready to re-deploy them into Iran.
They also know now, that they have been lied to in order to take this country to war.
Google is not the only reference where George W. Bush's name comes up when defining the word "Failure."
Morale usually drops as the military realizes that there is no noble cause they are fighting for.
Of course, Halliburton and other war-profiteers are laughing all the way to the bank.
Gee - How long ago was it Bush declared "Mission Accomplished?"

Maybe you should spend 90% of your life there for four years straight. Wouldn't you be missing home? Plus, at some point they are realizing that there isn't much they can really do against a determined insurgency.

Because they're in Iraq, away from their families fighting another version of Vietnam.

You would be too if people are trying to kill you and you are thousands of miles away from the people you love.
