Was reading an article , more of a poll about how US troops want to come back home. In other words, changes are apparent now , more than ever before.
I was just wondering if people who were for the war - also changed their mind or are thinking over their position?
Input would be interesting.
Some facts :
A wide-ranging poll of US troops in Iraq conducted by Le Moyne College and Zogby International found that 72 percent believe the United States should exit Iraq within a year, reported Agence France-Presse (AFP) Tuesday, February 28.
It found that only 23 percent of those surveyed believe that US troops should stay in Iraq “as long as it takes,” US President George W. Bush’s formulation for how long US forces will remain in the country.
In contrast, 29 percent of the respondents said US troops should leave immediately, 22 percent within six months, and 21 percent within six months to a year.
Support for an exit within a year was highest among reserve and national guard troops – 89 and 82 percent respectively. It was lower among regular army troops (70 percent) and lowest among marines (58 percent).
The poll found that 58 percent of the respondents said the US mission in Iraq is clear in their minds, while 42 percent said it was somewhat or very unclear or that they were unsure or did not understand the mission at all.
In a related development, a US study revealed on Tuesday that US troops returning from Iraq have the highest rate of mental health consultation and psychological problems compared to other troops returning from Afghanistan and other trouble spots.
