my letter to People ragazine,

Dear People ,

We know you hate Palin but would really hate to see anything bad happen to her son, right? So do you think you could maybe tell the enemy at least the time of his arrival. After all you gave them his unit, identifying markings and of course vehicle type. Then of course there was job description as protection escort. Maybe you could even find out which vehicle in convoy, say lead vehicle 1 or vehicle 3, he was riding in order to let them know just a little more info .

I saw the article online and was shocked at the absolute depths of your stupidity and blind hatred for Palin.

How about unit, office building and deployment status for Biden's son. I mean after all he's going to war as a.......... er..... lawyer. Can't be to careful filing briefs, what with paper cuts and such.

Hey, don’t knock him. Everyone knows lawyers are a vital force-multiplier on the modern battlefield.

gee, let me think. You're right... I can remember a little fire-fight in Indonesia where I was thinking.... "man I could use a f---ing radio that works and about 500 rounds of ammo.... aw sh#t, I forgot. He get that lawyer and put him on that right flank to cover the road and give me some arty and cover fire....hahahahahahahahahaha"

Democratic vice presidential candidate Joseph Biden’s son Beau, 39, is also headed for Iraq, as a military lawyer.P>gee, who’d of thunk it?

I would have guessed he was going as a lobbyist.

He is probably going over their to prosecute our troops for fabricated “war crimes”.

Okay, either I'm being too sensitive, or it seems that the MSM is revealing a bit too much info on Track Palin.

Way, way too much information. They also should not have said specifically where he's going and what his duties will be.

How I despise the media.

“Beau, 39, is also headed for Iraq, as a military lawyer

In search of another Haditha

You may be right, but I will give the man the benefit of the doubt and say “Thanks for serving”

No, he is going to the war zone as a Captain in the Delaware National Guard.

Either I missed the memo that freepers mock the military if the one being mocked is a dem or you are off base.

his unit is believed to be headed to Diyala

True and no big secrete.

the fourth most violent of Iraq’s provinces

True again, but in a relative sense. Reuters had a story the other day about 1000 families returning to Diyala recently since the violence has decreased so much. (Diyala is probably less dangerous than Detroit.) They'll be playing pretty much 'third string' behind the Iraqis and some other folks.

He will operate an armored eight-wheeled, 19-ton vehicle called a Stryker

A lot better than being on unmounted patrols

and serve as a bodyguard for brigade leaders

A little bit back from the pointy end of the spear.

My point is this, even if the MSM is trying send signals, most of this info has been out there for a while. Even though he may be new to Iraq, in that group of 4000 that are going, are some very tough, battle hardened veterans. Haji is getting his arse handed to him on a regular basis over there. Kind of like Obama of late here.

I posed the question because I'm not familiar with how the military releases that sort of deployment information.

But what about publicizing the "identifying marks?" And with such a bizarre segue?
