Veterans more anti-war than general public
Wednesday, October 27th, 2004The latest issue of Mother Jones reports on the growing opposition to the Iraq war among soldiers and veterans, organized in part by the Iraq Veterans Against the War. A poll last August in Pennsylvania showed 54% of households with a member in the military said the war was “the wrong thing to do.” Only 48% of the population as a whole felt that way. A 2003 Gallup poll showed that nearly a fifth of soldiers returning from Iraq felt the situation in that country had not been worth going to war over.
