Soldier's in Iraq

Here's an entry on Atlas Shrugs.

You'll love the analysis of the weaponry. Appears that the M-16 is still hated as is the 9mm handguns. Funny to see that more M-14s are being issued to the field and anyone who is allowed to carry a .45 is trying to get one.

The part I thought most telling is this:
According to Jordan, morale among our guys is very high. They not only believe they are winning, but that they are winning decisively. They are stunned and dismayed by what they see in the American press, whom they almost universally view as against them. The embedded reporters are despised and distrusted. They are inflicting casualties at a rate of 20-1 and then see shit like "Are we losing in Iraq" on TV and the print media.
Go and have a read.
