Thread Name: BS: Marine Message from the Front Lines
Subject: RE: BS: Marine Message from the Front Lines
The intent was to say that I support the young men but not the Administration. Some protesters of Viet Nam war were stupid and cruel enough to blame the soldiers for the war. I am not.
That first letter was not a request for support, it was a political statement. He is in Kuwait and claimed to speak for dead men. I am in Georgia. I tried to point out that there are other dead people who need to be thought of. I pointed out that thinking that he is the best doesn't shield him from the enemy. I pointed out that there are brave people at home doing what they feel is right. I'm not pointing it out to Corporal Josh, I'm point that out to people like you. If you think that is in poor taste, Troll, then so be it. Except for a few typos I'll stand by every word.
And Troll with regard the stuff about a note in the Mudcat "Haunting me to my grave" could you be more childish and melodramitic? At least it tells me how much creedance to give to everything else you say.
