Dahr Jamail's latest article, "Refusing to Comply: The Tactics of Resistance in the All-Volunteer Military"" is very good, and gives the reader some new vocabulary terms-- "search and avoid missions," as well as some scary and never mentioned statistics

"Between 2003 and 2007 there had been an 80% increase in overall desertion rates in the Army."

"Between 2000 and 2006, more than 40,000 troops from all branches of the military deserted, more than half from the Army. Army desertion rates jumped by 42% from 2006 to 2007 alone."

"While no broad poll of troops has been conducted recently, a Zogby poll in February 2006 found that 72% of soldiers in Iraq felt the occupation should be ended within a year."

The last statistic is sickly funny, because it was right after the poll when General Patreus "surged" in even more troops, continuing a military occupation which under the current SOFA must be completely dismantled by the end of 2011, save for a caveat at the end that allows either side to renegotiate it at any time.  So when 72% of soldiers wanted one more year of war, the Washington Politicians settled on 5 to endless years of war.  

There is also an interview with the author about the article, but i haven't listened to it yet. (http://antiwar.com/radio/2009/07/03/dahr-jamail-11/)
