It seems that even military men with an establishment pedigree are questioning current deployments in the Middle East:
"One of the sons of Australia's celebrated former defence force chief Peter Cosgrove will be discharged from the army after going AWOL from his barracks and being thrown in military jail.
"Private David Cosgrove, based at Singleton in the NSW Hunter region, also breached a series of strict conditions imposed on him.
"He was given a custodial sentence of up to 14 days in late October. He subsequently breached 'unit standing orders' and was administratively warned he was 'unsuitable for service'.
The military is clearly upset by the revelations. Fighting wars of "liberation" must be taking its toll.

It's an intriguing story, isn't it? Makes you wonder what is going on. Has David Cosgrove been in Iraq? How many Aussie troops are in Iraq? Where are they and what are they doing? How is morale? What do they think about the war and their deployment? With one US expert after another saying the US has lost the war in Iraq, what do the Aussie brass think?
Tongue. In. Cheek.
Get. A. Sense. Of. Humour.
Though, hey, it's possible.
Yep, that would explain the massive recruitment issues in the US, UK and Australia.
People are just dying to get into battle and fight for something they believe in...
