THE NEXT PRIVATE TO BE REPRIMANDED FOR POPPING OFF TO THE PRESS

I can't begin to tell you how bad this could get for her. In the first place, it isn't within her pay grade to determine whether there is a reason to be there.

Secondly, since she used her email privileges to send these messages to the TV station, she may wind up costing many soldiers email privileges - and that could really be bad for her as soldiers have ways of getting revenge.
Like other troops, Mary is sweltering in 120-degree heat, with no air conditioning, eating packaged meals for months and drinking only two bottles of water a day.

She's written us here at KIRO 7 Eyewitness News saying, "the military expects us to be happy out here. I'm very happy serving my country, but not when the government fails to take care of you."

"We volunteered our lives to be out here and we get treated worse that people in prison."

Private Yahne also writes, "There is no real reason for us to be out here!!!!, We're protecting the oil is all, and as far as the supposed war ending, it hasn't. Not when everyday soldiers are still getting mines placed in front of convoys. Rocket propelled grenades thrown at us."
