Very well written, insightful, courageous, and career ruining. I feel for these NCOs. I served in Iraq, am an army officer, and never agreed with the war or the conduct of it. But whether I, a mid level officer, twenty generals, or one hundred NCOs speak out, it still won't matter. While in Iraq I watched Robert McNamara's autobio called "The Fog of War". If you haven't watched it, shame on you. You want to know why the administration is acting the way it is? Watch the movie. We can debate all day whether Iraq is like Vietnam, one thing is certain, the reason we stay in Iraq is the same as the reason we stayed in Vietnam.
