Here is link to a posting of a letter from an unnamed SGT with 101st Airborne in Iraq.  Well worth the time to read:

~G: Since my Vietnam experience, this is what I mean when I say "If I must go to war, give me red blooded American men to go with me."  Notice that I didn't say "boys."  Contrary to the charges made by the REMF's, the quality of the recruits is not going down.  One of the first letters in the 1770's from the MarDet on John Paul Jones ship (Bon Homme Richard) complained the "the quality of recruits is going down."  BS - don't you ever believe it.
