Nearly 60% of military families disapprove of the president's job performance and say the war is not worth the human cost. "I pray to God they did not die in vain, but I don't think our president is even sensitive at all to what it's like to have a child serving over there," said one woman whose son was wounded in Iraq. "We support the troops; we don't support Bush," said another military mom responding to the poll. (More poll stories.) Report an error
