US soldiers' mental health is improving!

So says a new Army report.
Fifty-four per cent of the U.S. occupying soldiers in Iraq, questioned as part of an Army survey, stated that morale in their individual units was either "low" or "very low".

The report, dated January 30, 2005, provides a snapshot of the morale and mental health of soldiers serving in Iraq and Kuwait from August to October last year.

However, the mental health of the soldiers in Iraq has improved, the report said, adding that substantially fewer soldiers need to be evacuated from Iraq for mental health problems than last year. But it didn’t clarify what was the reason behind such improvement.

And that would be a very interesting thing to know, wouldn't it?

The wounded, however, are having some problems.
