I served in the Army under President Carter. What a miserable experience that was. I am proud of my service, but not the Commander-In-Chief I served under. My eldest boy is curently awaiting deployment to Iraq. He at least will have the comfort of knowing HIS C-in-C will back him up all the way.
The dirtbag who wrote that letter is not fit to shine my boy's boots, but he will defend the moron's RIGHT to spew vile garbage without fear of getting a bullet in the head.
Just once, I wish these people had to live under a Saddam Hussein or Kim Jong-il. They'd change their tune in a flash. If they survived the experience.
Sadly, they would probably see nothing wrong with those forms of government and would fit right in.
