Crossed Wires

I got a really odd e-mail the other day. It was from a person in Iraq, with the US Army. Obviously it was meant to go to family members and was just a quick update, "I'm fine, it's hot, etc." Luckily I was able to track down the intended recipient and get them the email.

I have a new found appreciation for the term "support our troops." I still feel that the best way to support our troops is to not set them up for snipers or car combers in a botched nation building mission.

would it be presumptuous of me to ask that you post the text of the letter? i would love to have an insight into what our soldiers are thinking.

I'd feel really bad about that, it was meant as a family update.

But The Washington Post talked to some soldiers that aren't happy at all...
