The Institute for Southern Studies has released a new poll showing growing Southern opposition to the war in Iraq. 57% of Southerners now feel the war was a mistake, as compared to a July 2005 poll in which 53% thought it was the right decision.

They will give you their opinion on the war and it has nothing to do with their desire to serve, it has to do with the limited manner in which they are allowed to serve and defend themselves.
