The GI's dad was interviewed on a Dallas talk-radio station yesterday. I think I remember him saying someone (maybe the principal) at the school knew him and knew he had a son in Iraq and a teacher there wanted to know if the students could write to him.
It sounded pretty intentional to me.
The dad said on Hannity yesterday that his son was asked if he would like Christmas cards from kids, and that is what he said yes to. Look at what he got instead. To add insult to injury, the mother of one of these little pukes kept asking why the soldier didn't answer the questions posed? (Like is killing an innocent civilian "horrible or great?")
This is truly one of the most vile stories about public schools I've seen yet.
