Re: Independent: Are British troops at breaking point in Ira
Odd that morale is down when the deployment is only half that of the GI. Perhaps the government has overlooked financial incentives to help the troops or is there a leadership issue ?

Re: Independent: Are British troops at breaking point in Iraq?
we have less troops than the US therefore our tours come round more often, hence shorter tours, our troops are more intelligent than the average GI therefore question more.
A British soldier isnt happy unless he is moaning, therefore even if we didnt pay tax on tour we'd still find something to moan about.

The USMC has a 7 month tour and has very high morale. Must be a leadership issue then.

and there are billions of brainwashed marines in it, therefore less questioning.
