Agreed! I believe the public should know more about what is acctually going on over there.
For example;
Does anyone know, how much US-military equipment has been demaged or destroyed in Iraq until now??

Well don't know whether this is really true for most of the Iraqi insurgent-groups.

I think your characterization of US-soldiers lacks a hell lot of balance and understanding. Whatever the motivation to join the military might have been (money, patriotism, personal life-task), over there in Iraq it doesn't matter anymore. There they just have to do their job and somehow I don't believe that rather political/ philosophical questions like "Whats an average American soldier fighting for?" cross their mind that often.
It's just an useless waste of time/energy, as no matter what the individual answer might be, the next second the job continues.
