As Army captains who served in Baghdad and beyond, we've seen the corruption and the sectarian division. We understand what it's like to be stretched too thin. And we know when it's time to get out

I thought they hit the whole thing right on the head of the nail.

Bush may have clamped down on differing views coming out of Iraqi, but at least these "12 Angry Soldiers" managed to speak out.

They make a very valid (the most valid imho) point about how our reconstruction money is being used to equip people who are preparing for a civil war.

It is time for us as a country to choose...
