This is a great letter if you have a few minutes to read and pass on. But if nothing else I want you to see this incredibly powerful quote from someone truly on the front lines:

It’s too bad many people don’t realize that and the same Marines have to return time and again to the same places to kill these people instead of an entire generation standing up to fight evil. I can’t complain though, because even if there aren’t lines at the recruiting stations, at least we’re getting all the stuff we need out here and we know we have the support of the majority of the population back home. That makes all the difference in the world!

Reading this letter makes me think about the future generations of Iraqi's, Americans, and heck, the whole world who will be reading of these soldiers brave stand against evil. I believe generations yet unborn will shout for joy because the coalition of fighters had the courage to take a stand and fight for freedom.

Don't lost heart, it is only the whiny know nothings who keep screaming about the need for the war to be over and the troops to come home. This fight is worth every drop of sweat, every drop of blood, and fulfills every hope and dream of humanity to live free.

Such a powerful letter. It is very heart warming to realize our prayers for all our guys and gals are often answered. We never see the bullet hit a wall that just barely misses someone. But they do. May the good Lord in HIS tender mercy gather all the coaliton forces and now the good Iraqi army and police under his wing, and provide for their safety.
Hopefully larger numbers of Iraqi will start in a big way cooperating with their police and army in putting down this insurgency.
Like is mentioned. Much of this is taking on the form of organized crime. The line in my opinion between say a drug gang and a militia doing bad things to citizens for revenge, etc., is a fine line. And quite franky since day one, I have seen little difference.
