Whoever forwarded an email from an active duty member serving in Iraq- with his identity intact- is a dam fool or worse. I urge anyone who sees the original or any other email from an active duty troop- to NOT forward it without purging the identity of the author.

YES. What you have said is true.

Even the lefty bloggers with their "fake stories" guard more rigorously the identity of "military" than some conservatives do. And this, yes, is a whole 'other story.

Like in World War Two, when the reporters would interview Captain Jim or Private Richard.

There was a bit of this name protection early on in Afghanistan and even during the initial push into Iraq, but not anymore.
