"I no longer believe; I have lost my conviction, my determination," writes Tim Predmore, a U.S. soldier stationed in Iraq. "I can no longer justify my service for what I believe to be half-truths and bold lies. My time is done as well as that of many others with whom I serve. We have all faced death here without reason or justification. ... How many more tears must be shed before America awakens and demands the return of the men and women whose job it is to protect them rather than their leader's interest?"
