U.S. Soldiers in Iraq Go Without Water
Officials from the Utah National Guard say the shortage is because the U.S. government never expected one hundred and fifty thousand troops to still be in Iraq during the hot summer months.
Some soldiers report that heat indexes have reached one hundred and forty degrees. Many of the service men are only getting one or two bottles of water to drink each day. "

Hmmm.. I'd check the source on that story pretty carefully before I'd air it. Water shortages could be life threatening. But I've seen cases where folks who get uncomfortable write back home to the local media... in my experience, we were far from starving as the report sounded. The food was strange and not to our liking but we were hardly starved! I didn't even lose much weight!
