U.S. troops in Iraq

Sir, — The frustration evident among the U.S. soldiers in Iraq is not unexpected. What is unexpected, though, is the intensity of the frustration. The U.S. is always ahead in giving high-intensity moral statements and espousing power-packed Wilsonian ideas. The soldiers feel they have been betrayed regarding the nature of the war and the duration of occupation.

Whatever the facts or counter-facts, one thing is clear: the U.S. is being drained of its morale.

Sukriti Singh,

Delhi
