- U.S. troops are being forced to take drugs like Prozac and Seroquel for anxiety and depression.
- Troops cannot refuse to take the drugs without consequences from their superiors.
- Resistance by U.S. troops to their orders is also running high.
- Some U.S. military patrols decline to carry out their "search and kill" missions and, instead, return to their bases claiming they carried out their orders.
- Another neo-con outrage: Pentagon forcing U.S. soldiers and Marines in Iraq to take Prozac and other drugs for anxiety and depression.
- Incidents of suicide among U.S. troops in Iraq is also reaching troubling levels.
- There are also reports of defections by U.S. troops to neighboring Turkey, Iran, and Syria, where they can get passage to Europe and Russia.
- Incidents of fighting between regular U.S. military personnel and private military contractors, who wear uniforms similar to those worn by regular U.S. soldiers and Marines, is also increasing.
- U.S. troops are frustrated that they come under attack for atrocities carried out by private contractors who receive triple and quadruple the salaries U.S. military personnel receive.
- This situation has created a tinderbox between U.S. troops and private contractors.
