I took my two sons and their friend to see "We were Soldiers". When we left the theater I told them that now they knew more about Vietnam than anybody at the NY Times or at the Washington Post. Thank you for posting this.

In WWII for example, 700 soldiers drowned in a training accident in preparation for D-Day (that is about how many combat deaths we've experienced so far in Iraq).

Perspective is our friend.

"One thing the Marine Corps taught me is that a 70% solution acted on immediately and violently is better than a perfect solution acted on later"

It looks like Patton taught the military well. Too bad the public can't learn some of his lessons.

I suggest we turn this letter into an email chain, if not a full-page ad in USA Today.

Excellent read. I've already forwarded it to various liberals in the office. Its interesting that Andrew S. posted it. More interesting that Andrew Sullivan, like John Kerry, seemed to vote fore the war before he voted against it. Total a-hole.

Senator Kerry has made it clear that he would use military force only if approved by the United Nations.

Kerry would let Paris decide when America needs defending.

I want Bush to decide.

John Kerry, who says he doesn't like outsourcing, wants to outsource our national security.

That's the most dangerous outsourcing of all. This politician wants to be leader of the free world.

Free for how long?

For more than 20 years, on every one of the great issues of freedom and security, John Kerry has been more wrong, more weak and more wobbly than any other national figure.

Sort of what Clinton did in his first challenge---Somalia.

And we paid the price a decade later.

That is a sensational email. Even a shallow Dem shill like Andrew Sullivan would have to be moved by it.

Great post. Thanks. I notice Andrew did not comment on this one. Does not fit into his new world view, which is I HATE BUSH.
