Jack the Sailor. i suppose that you feel that you had to write your letter back so that your particular point of view. You had every right to do so and that right is one of the things that young men like Josh sign up to defend. He is about to go and lay his life on the line in a cause that he obviously feels is just.
If your letter causes him or any of his fellows to doubt their leaders at a critical moment, causing injury or death, it is my hope that you will somehow know and that the knowledge of that will haunt you to your grave.
If you had tried, I don't think you could ahve written a more damaging piece or one that was in poorer taste.
I eagerly await your "defense" of your action. It will be interesting in the extreme to see how you justify it.
