We consider generic MQCD configurations with matter described by semi-
infinite D4-branes and softly broken supersymmetry. We show that the m
atter sector does not introduce supersymmetry breaking parameters so t
hat the most relevant supersymmetry breaking operator at low energies
is the gaugino mass term. By studying the run-away properties of these
models in the decoupling limit of the adjoint matter, we argue that t
hese softly broken MQCD configurations fair to capture the infrared ph
ysics of QCD at scales below the gaugino mass.
