Like you, I am concerned about the plight of the Micronesian soldier in Iraq. That one soldier constitutes a major section of the Micronesian armed forces: which number around 1000 men (no women). But Micronesia's defense against greedy foreign invadors who may want to capture that brave Micronesian soldier who single-handedly overthrew Saddam's government, is a US responsibility under the Compact of Free Association between the US and FSM .governments.
