SUMMARY: In a post
on the NRO military blog
The Tank, W. Thomas Smith Jr. asserted that he had been to Iraq, spent
"[d]ays -- sometimes weeks -- at a time" with units in action, and
would be "hard-pressed to find one American Marine or soldier (or a Brit)
who would say to me 'it's not going well.' " However, there are several examples
of active-duty or retired service members
expressing discontent with progress in Iraq through media outlets.
