A Strident Minority: Anti-Bush US Troops in Iraq: "'[For] 9 out of 10 of the people I talk to, it wouldn't matter who ran against Bush - they'd vote for them,' said a US soldier in the southern city of Najaf, seeking out a reporter to make his views known. 'People are so fed up with Iraq, and fed up with Bush.'
... A Military Times survey last December of 933 subscribers, about 30 percent of whom had deployed for the Iraq war, found that 56 percent considered themselves Republican - about the same percentage who approved of Bush's handling of Iraq. Half of those responding were officers, who as a group tend to be more conservative than their enlisted counterparts."
