Where in this article does it say that "the troops are realizing they've been duped."???
Imagine a soldier being homesick...Oh I'm sure that would never happen...
Now... Imagine politicians and political hacks (who pretend to be journalists) exploiting those homesick troops to forward a leftist political agenda...

P.S. Don't worry, the troops are safer in Iraq than they are visiting home (thanks to the wellfare-state that the left has built back here in good ole USA over the last half century or more.)
