2. what a surprise. Stars and Stripes discovers that soldiers support

the view they espouse and therefore publish same.
Has the same validity as that Llewyn report that the insurance industry put together that the repugs always cite.
Or as much as the tobacco institute did in its heyday.

3. Why the surprise?

If I was in their situation, I'd be glad to hear about reinforcements too.

"In the south, where fighting has been intense recently, U.S. servicemembers have been hoping for reinforcements."

4. But what they want doesn't matter.

5. Anybody in a war is going to be glad for reinforcements
