Disillusionment with being asked to fight and die for no reason sound like a pretty normal response to me. The real psychological problems can be found in our leaders, who continue to sacrifice other peoples' lives in a futile attempt to salvage their own egos and reputations. There is nothing more to be gained in Iraq, but they can't or won't admit that to themselves, so nothing significant will be done until enough soldiers have died that the public demands a withdrawal.
