Being stuck in a foreign country, being shot at in miserable conditions of coarse is not fun. Add the fact that you see, or hear of your fellow americans protesting a war that you are fighting and dying in makes you question the leadership. Questioning the leadership will eventually give you a negative mentality (what the fu@& am I doing here anyway). This will lead to combat inefficiency. Combat inefficiency will ultimately result in loss of life. Then your watching the life drain from your buddies body, and if that isnt de-moralizing, i dont know what is
