Survey Says

This past Sunday, a bought-and-sold jackass said this:

"Interviews with soldiers in Iraq, they--most are foursquare behind the president."

Here's the reality:

A slim majority of Army soldiers in Iraq -- 52 percent -- reported that their morale was low, and three-fourths of them said they felt poorly led by their officers, according to a survey taken at the end of the summer and released yesterday by the Army.

In addition, seven in 10 of those surveyed characterized the morale of their fellow soldiers as low or very low. The problems were most pronounced among lower-ranking troops and those in reserve units.
...

The Pentagon data on morale also appear to give official confirmation to a more informal survey conducted last summer by Stars and Stripes, the military newspaper. That survey found about half of troops who filled out questionnaires described their unit's morale as low and their training as insufficient, and said they did not plan to reenlist.

Now the Pentagon survey was taken last summer, and doubtless won't be repeated -- But does anyone believe morale has improved in last nine months?

And anyone who still believes the jackass is an objective journalist should click on the first link, and have the scales fall from his or her eyes.
