Fahrenheit 9/11 documented a number of Iraq War veterans who showed dissatisfaction with Bush. I wonder how rampant the anti-Bush sentiment is in the military, especially in light of the administration's use of a "back-door draft" to beef up the ranks in Iraq.
US Soldier Sues Over Iraq Call-up
A veteran US soldier is suing the Defence Department over its plans to forcibly extend his reservist's contract and send him to Iraq.
The man, known by the pseudonym John Doe, has been with the army for nine years and last year served in Iraq.
