Military poll shows favor for Iraq war

Despite a year of ferocious combat, support for the war in Iraq remains overwhelming among the active-duty military, according to the 2004 Military Times Poll.

Sixty-three percent of respondents approve of the way President Bush is handling the war, and 60 percent say it is worth fighting. Support for the war is greater among those who have served longest in the combat zone: Two-thirds of combat vets say it is worthwhile.

A year ago 77 percent said they thought the military was stretched too thin. This year 66 percent agreed. The poll's margin of error is 2.6 percentage points.

Rampant:
Nah, Mark cubans opinion matters more to me.

just kidding. That poll is very interesting to read, i never would have thought that the majority of troops agree with the war.

Ant:
The military historically supports war.  There has never been a war to my knowledger the majority of the military didnt support.  The fact that only 60% agree with how Bush is handling the war is more surprising than hearing the military supports the war.  The German military supported Hitler. Does that prove anything?

Sikotic™:
I would hope that the majority support something that requires them to put their lives on the line.
