The label intentionally suggests a disease, a weakening of the martial will, but the syndrome was actually a healthy American reaction to false White House promises of victory, the propping up of corrupt regimes, crony contracting and cover-ups of civilian casualties during the Vietnam War that are echoed today in the news from Baghdad. ”

“ Even more so,... The military is always out to get you. And they're very cruel and heartless with good reason, too. They want to break you down in basic training. They want you to die in combat.
