US losing "hearts and minds" campaign in Iraq. "'We had one of our workers out here the other day who said, `We take your money today, and we will shoot you tomorrow,'" said Capt. Tammy Galloway, a public affairs officer with the 82nd Airborne Division, stationed in Ramadi, 60 miles west of Baghdad." Relations sour between US troops and journalists in Iraq.

"A group of 30 military veterans critical of the war in Iraq hoped to use Tuesday's Veterans Day parade to call attention to the increasingly deadly conflict but instead found themselves fighting for something much more fundamental. Members of Veterans For Peace and Vietnam Veterans Against the War were yanked off a downtown Tallahassee street, directly in front of the Old Capitol, while marching in the holiday parade they had legitimately registered in." This is why I hate the VFW.
