« Can't we do better? | Main | Can we stop the next war... »

You know what really hurts the troops' morale?

It's not the people trying to bring them home.

The front page of the local rag carried a large photo above the fold two days ago. It was taken by John Moore of Getty Images, and accompanied an article about our military manpower problems. Hard to believe, but I can't find the photo on-line. It's simple to describe though. On a blank wall outside a Marine Corps civil affairs office in Ramadi Iraq was scribbled these words, writ large in an easy blue script:

America is not at war.
The Marine Corps is at war.
America is at the mall.

UPDATE: I found the photo.
