Hmmm...this is interesting...

44 percent of US combat troops condone torture as a means of obtaining information from an insurgent.

A study by a mental health advisory revealed this disturbing thought. It further claimed that soldiers were constantly fighting against bad morale and that acute mental health issues were increasingly prevalent.

War is hell! These troops have seen some disturbing things and in a country where potentially around every corner is your killer, it's perhaps unsurprising that they should feel this way.

Hoowever, what's more disturbing is the article's assertion that although the report was completed in November 06, the results were only released now - and in censored form.

Looks like even this medical report is being used in this war where propoganda is nearly as vital as the fighting itself.
