Nobody ever said "unanimous."

I have said that a great many of the troops believe they are doing something good over in Iraq. I would say "most," but that would be based on anecdotal evidence from reporters and other troops, not a formal survey.

I have also said that pro-war troops are not heard from in the mainstream press, telling their stories in small-town papers and on the net, while anti-war military members are trumpeted on the front page, like in the Mercury News yesterday.
