Congrats to Stars and Stripes

Hats off to Stars and Stripes, the “hometown newspaper” for those in the service. It is running Ground Truth, a series aimed at trying “to find out what the ground truth was in Iraq” from the viewpoint of those actually serving there. The series includes a survey completed by 1,935 service members covering items ranging from living and health conditions to the mission they are being asked to perform. Although not scientifically accurate, it presents a very interesting and much needed view of what’s going on over there.
