Mickey, either its a fake or its a real letter. I haven't seen it...I've gotten off all of the military sites for one reason or another, and don't care enough to look for it. If its fake, it is just one more example                     of the drivel available on the Internet. If not, it is one mid-level individual expressing his or her own opinion, informed or otherwise. My personal experience with Marines is that they tend to be a bit more conservative politically and socially than the average individual in the military, but that hardly means that this letter represents an official opinion of any kind...and perhaps the person who wrote it (if its real) is as unhappy that it made its way to the Internet as you were to find it there.
