Nine more US soldiers killed in Iraq
(AFP) "Three soldiers were killed when their patrol was hit by a roadside bomb attack south of Baghdad, one was shot dead in the capital and another hit by a booby trap as his unit operated near where the men went missing.
Two more soldiers were killed by another roadside bomb north of Baghdad, while two marines died in action in the restive western province of Anbar."
(Also: A very well written point of view article by Damian Cave about losses in the search for the three missing soldiers in Mahmoudiya.
Later: (WaPo) "U.S. officials are examining the body of a man that Iraqi police found in the Euphrates River this morning and believe to be one of three missing American soldiers." )

Change a few minor details and that Damian Cave piece could have been written in 1967, not 2007.

That's a very good point.
The morale seems to be slipping, and the soldiers seem to abandoningthe "greater case" for their own local fight.
