From AP: Poll: 1 in 3 vets sees Iraq, Afghan wars as wastes

Robert Burns, the AP’s National Security Writer, breaks the good news of the latest Pew Survey.

The Pew survey found that veterans are ambivalent about the net value of the wars, although they generally were more positive about Afghanistan, which has been a more protracted but less deadly conflict for U.S. forces. One-third of post-9/11 veterans said neither war was worth the sacrifices; that was the view of 45 percent in the separate poll of members of the general public.
