All Readers - PASS THIS ON
I don't have to wonder how soldiers feel about the Left's hardline stance against the war. My friends are in Iraq and Afghanistan and I know the truth - they hate it; it's demoralizing and a betrayal. Both Kit and I have posted emails and letters from soldiers here periodically to show our readers what WE hear on an ongoing basis. Here's another. In fact, this soldier wants and needs to be a VOICE. He asks that his words (and those of his platoon mates) be copied, forwarded, and widely disseminated. That is the very least we can do.
So, if you're another blogger - no matter how big or small your blog, no matter if you're liberal* or conservative - please copy this soldier's letter and post it at your own place. If you're a reader, email the letter or print it out and share it with others. It's the very least you can do, too.

* If you are a liberal reading this, and one who subscribes to the oxymoron "I support the troops, but not the war", I wonder if you have enough intestinal fortitude to read this sergeant's words, understand them, and pass them on, as per his request. If you really support the troops - will you perform this one small request from one of them? And if you have your own blog, you now have the chance to show your support for the troops in a very small way that costs you NOTHING. Can Will you do it? I really want to know, so I await your reply.

Why hasn't this thread been viewed? I'm going to post this as a test 'cause I've view it twice now, and it's not reflected with the heading.
Good post. Thanks.
