*Ø* Blogmanac | 'Bring us home': GIs flood US with war-weary emails

An unprecedented internet campaign waged on the frontline and in the US is exposing the real risks for troops in Iraq.

Paul Harris and Jonathan Franklin (The Observer) report on rising fears that the conflict is now a desert Vietnam

"Criticism is also coming directly from soldiers risking their lives under the guns of Saddam Hussein's fighters, and they are using a weapon not available to troops in previous wars: the internet.

"Through emails and chatrooms a picture is emerging of day-to-day gripes, coupled with ferocious criticism of the way the war has been handled.

"They paint a vivid picture of US army life that is a world away from the sanitised official version."
