The sergeant at the 2nd Battle Combat Team Headquarters pulled me aside in the corridor. "I've got my own 'Most Wanted' list," he told me.

"The aces in my deck are Paul Bremer, Donald Rumsfeld, George Bush and Paul Wolfowitz," he said.

...Those four are not popular at 2nd BCT these days. It is home to 4,000 troops from the 2nd Brigade of the Army's 3rd Infantry Division. The soldiers were deployed to Kuwait last September. They were among the first troops in Baghdad during the war. And now they've been in the region longer than other troops: 10 months and counting.

"If Donald Rumsfeld were sitting here in front of us, what would you say to him?" I asked a group of soldiers who gathered around a table, eager to talk to a visiting reporter.

"If he was here," said Pfc. Jason Punyahotra, "I would ask him why we're still here, why we've been told so many times and it's changed."

In the back of the group, Spc. Clinton Deitz put up his hand. "If Donald Rumsfeld was here," he said, "I'd ask him for his resignation."

1. Chin up boys...

...we're trying our best to get you home safely...

Oh, but they'll be able to vote over the Internet in 2004. Will Bush still be so assured that the military absentee vote will break in his favor?

3. Nope

the army in particular, and the
rest of the services are
turning very hard against this
bunch. Problem is, internet vote
to be controlled by a Saudi company.

2. Retention is very low

morale is very low
recruitment is down...

can we all say it will take years
to rebuild the volunteer foce?

Can we all say...

The demos can say this bunch
destroyed the armed forces more
effectively than any enemy force
ever could?

4. This is some really serious sh*t!

For these troops to go on the record and diss their civilian "commanders" is almost asking for a court martial.

Once again the troops trapped in Iraq are trying to get attention drawn to their plight. Bush & Co. could care less.

Tough way for these soldiers to learn who really supports the troops (by not sending them there in the first place).

'Luck troops.

5. I can't believe this was on ABC News.
