(Feel sorry for the US Soldiers conducting the slaughter in Iraq? Feel sorry no more - they like it that way. And it is thanks to them that Mr. George Bush was re-elected for 4 more years.)

Support for the war in Iraq remains very high among the active-duty military, according to a Military Times Poll.

  • 63 % percent of respondents approve of the way President Bush is handling the war, and
  • 60% remain convinced it is a war worth fighting.
  • Support for the war is even greater among those who have served longest in the combat zone: Two-thirds of combat vets say the war is worth fighting.
  • Nearly 50% say they expect to occupy Iraq for more than five years.
  • In addition, 87%% say they're satisfied with their jobs and, if given the choice today, only 25% say they'd leave the service.
  • Only 12% say civilian Pentagon policymakers should be held accountable for abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
Compared with last year, the percentages for support for the war and job satisfaction remain essentially unchanged.

The findings are part of the annual Military Times Poll, which this year included 1,423 active-duty subscribers to Air Force Times, Army Times, Navy Times and Marine Corps Times. The subscribers were randomly surveyed by mail in late November and early December. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.6%.
