Epic Guide|Mostly Harmless

The Christian Science Monitor reported today that the majority of troops polled showed a desire to withdraw from Iraq within a year.  While at first glance this article may be surprising, as always you must look at it with slowly.  First off, look at the sourse: The Christian Science Monitor- a anti-war forerunner.  Even more biased is the poll which was funded by Le Moyne College’s Center for Peace and Global Studies.  Just look at the name and tell me that isnt biased.  Furthermore, Le Moyne College’s Center for Peace and Global Studies recieved its money for the project from an anonymous anti-war activist.  This article reaks of bias, and despite how polls make look offical, you can make a poll say whatever you want by asking the right question.  To contrast this, my personal experience with talking to soldiers, they all take the same position I expect.  They don’t want to be there, they hate it, but they know why they are there.

I must point out, even if it were true, I wouldnt care.  Marines are called Jarheads for a reason; they arent payed to think.
