American soldiers serving in Afghanistan are depressed and deeply disillusioned, according to the chaplains of two US battalions that have spent nine months on the front line in the war against the Taleban.
Many feel that they are risking their lives — and that colleagues have died — for a futile mission and an Afghan population that does nothing to help them, the chaplains told The Times in their makeshift chapel on this fortress-like base in a dusty, brown valley southwest of Kabul.
“The many soldiers who come to see us have a sense of futility and anger about being here. They are really in a state of depression and despair and just want to get back to their families,” said Captain Jeff Masengale, of the 10th Mountain Division’s 2-87 Infantry Battalion.\

Some recent Obama deeds.
1. He chastised the General for openly expressing a need for more troups
2 He worships in prayer with Muslims
3 He apologizes for America In Cairo
4 he is destroying nukes and defensive system
5 he shafted Poland
6 Early in office he said the troups would have to pay their own medical care and use their own insurance. Of course your employer insurance is ended when you leave for war. He backed off but the message was very clear.
