Will Bush be 'fragged' in November?
In 2000 Governor Bush counted on military votes to (almost) win the election. As with other elements of Bush's core constituency, it looks like support for TeamBush among our nation's military in 2004 is also flagging. Of course, the reason goes back (once again) to our 'splendid little war' in Iraq. Veterans are upset about the cuts in benefits to retired military, as well as the ongoing struggle to gain the upper hand in Iraq.
James Fallows looks at the problems our military is facing as the war drags on.
