I am amazed at the figure below - 17,000 - that is not a few soldiers that is a lot! Morale must have been at a real low for a long time.

| AWOL For as long as there has been war, there have been soldiers deserting. More than 17,000 soldiers have deserted during this current war on terror, and the numbers are expected to rise, according to the U.S. Army. ABC's Nick Watt reports from Germany. Ref. ABC Nightline |

This actually shocks me very little. For the longest time before the Iraq war, a short military career was a great way to get some money to pay for college. Serve a few years...get paid...go to school. That was the thought. What most really never considered or rationalized as a low possibility was that they might actually have to be a soldier or go to war. So when this war came about, a lot are not now seeing the benefit or do not like the new risk associated with the money for college.
