Actually, I've heard the exact opposite in regard to our soldier morale. What publication is saying otherwise?

Because power corrupts us, and absolute power corrupts us absolutely. Human beings are chimpanzees who get crazy drunk on power. By saying that our leaders are power-drunk chimpanzees, am I in danger of wrecking the morale of our soldiers fighting and dying in the Middle East? Their morale, like so many lifeless bodies, is already shot to pieces. They are being treated, as I never was, like toys a rich kid got for Christmas."-- <STRONG>Kurt Vonnegut, Jr</STRONG>.
