NPR : Debate on Iraq Doesn't Hurt Morale, Leaders Say

(my note; well geesh, it's only four years later and about time or past time to be 'having healthy debate/dialogue' about Iraq invasion/occupation without it having to mean it is hurting troop morale! About time the military leaders stated clearly the troops can handle the truth - they are far from shrinking violets, after all)
