In my work I run across many veterans (I am one myself) both enlisted and officer. I work with them every day as clients and as fellow employees- some of whom have recently returned from Iraq- and one of whom just returned to Iraq- commanding over 7,000 marines.
Not one doesn't think we're doing the right thing there and to a man they despise the media for their portrayal of the military and our efforts in Iraq. They feel undermined and betrayed; their scorn for the media is almost palpable.
They all support Bush but some do question his conduct of the war. OTOH...almost all of the officers I've spoken with didn't like Rumsfeld and were glad to see him go. Many said so before his departure.
I have yet to come across one- and I've probably talked to over a hundred in the past year- who is "adamantly opposed" to our presence in Iraq.
Sorry but I have to question the veracity of that statement.
