This news is a bit old, but I missed it. Mass Re-Enlistment Ceremony in Iraq!

Why would so many re-up if they're failing?

Hey Herbie--
Can I call you Jonathon? Hope your leg is better real soon!

This stuff goes on all the time, but it's like the pictures you posted earlier, it doesn't get reported. You would think all these news organizations who are always talking out of both sides of their mouths, "I support the troops but not the war," would be happy to post those pictures. How hard is it for them to show a little good news about the soldiers they claim to support. No. They go to Walter Redd and throw a mike into a young soldier's face who has his arm blown off, so they can illicit some negative comments regarding the war. There's just too much negativity.
Thanks for posting these stories.

Is that the right link? Because what I saw didn't have anything to do with Mass Re-Enlistement.
That and this article was released in 2001.
This also says it as well.

They do. When I have talked to those who have been in Iraq fighting for our mission they believe in it and want the mission to be completed now stopped before it has a chance to succeed.

What do they have to go home too.
Plus pressure and even in peacetime when I was in the Airforce in the early 80's the pressure was intense. I was even told I would be a traitor if I did not reenlist.
You know, rah-rah, cheer your team on even when your team is losing.
Peace

You posted a link entitled "Blame Congress for HMOs" which is dated February 2001.
What does this have to do with Iraq?
Besides "winning" or "failing" must be relative to some defined goal. What is our defined goal in Iraq?

That's an HMO report. Got the other link that you meant to post?

Oh there you go again with those silly little fact thingies again. Just ignore those. Some democrat will come along and tell you what to think. ....right after they get back from their month-long vacation.

Your link is unrelated to your question.
