Dampening the morale of the troops??

Many, who are pro Iraq war, say that any suggestion of USA withdrawing from Iraq will ‘dampen the morale of our brave soldiers fighting there’. I just cannot understand this. Why should a soldier who is risking his life in a foreign country, where everyone (at least 80% of the population) wants you to leave, mind being called back? Do the soldiers have a death wish? Or do they want to stay away from their nagging wives and family as long as possible? This does not make any sense to me. I feel that instead of feeling depressed, our soldiers must be cheering, “Thank God Almighty, finally they are talking about us getting out of this hell hole! Please hurry!’
