text: is the moral among the american troops in iraq really high? when i was there in 04-05 it looked pretty low to me. now the place is even worse and all i am hearing is the troops are happy with the mission and support it. i cant ever remember hearing someone saying that while i was there. you mean "morale" and yeah, it's pretty low.  they have no idea what they're doing there and when they'll be back or when they'll get killed.  it's a horrible situation.
