U.S. Soldiers With Morale Problems

There are many emotionally depressed soldiers making their way into a chapel on a U.S. base southwest of Kabul for the past few months. They are speaking up and describing their disillusionment and depression because of their tour in Afghanistan. Soldiers simply are blurred as to what there mission is over there. According to Captain Jeff Mesengale of the 10th Mountain Division`s 2-87 Infantry Battalion, soldiers are becoming increasingly frustrated and depressed. He told The Times newspaper that they simply want to get back to their families. Alarmingly divorce rates are skyrocketing adding to the hellish scene to families. Life as a soldier in Afghanistan is either becoming an amputee, becoming killed, suffering from stress disorder, or eventually losing your family to divorce. Specialist Raquime mercer told The Times newspaper, "We`re lost-that`s how I feel. I`m not exactly sure why we`re here." The chaplains there are counseling many soldiers, and sending them out again. May God help them.
