In this poll of professional, active-duty U.S. military, taken by mail between 11/14/2005 and 12/23/ 2005, the majority still expresses support but it's now a slim majority — 54%, down from 63% in Military Times' 2004 poll.

The respondents, mostly officers, most of whom told Military Times that they had been deployed in support of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, are probably more reluctant to express dissatisfaction than civilian Americans. They nevertheless appear to be exhibiting the same signs of Bush fatigue as the rest of the country.

Here is a snippet:

>> The professional military seems to be lessening in its certainty about the wisdom of the Iraq intervention and the way it has been handled,” said Richard Kohn, a professor of political science at the University of North Carolina who studies civil-military relations. “This seems to be more and more in keeping with changes in public views, and that’s not surprising.”<<
