Letter to defeatists from a US soldier

From an officer who’s in Iraq now and many of the soldiers serving with him, you are no better than Vietnam Veterans Against the War, undermining the war effort and giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
Not everything goes according to planned in war, but there are more successes here than failures. Maybe things have changed since you left. Be that as it may, you took the comments by Rush Limbaugh completely out of context. If you had listened to the feed or read the transcript, you would know he was referring to “CPL MacBeth” and others like him who pretend to have served but never left boot camp, and certainly never served in Iraq.
I signed up after 9-11 at age 30 with my education completed and volunteered to come over on this Embedded Provincial Reconstruction Team mission, despite having 3 children, my son only 21 old months before I left.
Mistakes notwithstanding, you are clueless concerning the importance of this war and the implications of withdrawal. You are also clueless concerning the threat from Iran, and your posture endangers the future of my children. What would your philosophy have been in WWII against the Nazis and Japanese, with 400,000+ dead and many more wounded?
You should all be ashamed of yourselves, especially if you’re on the take, i.e. how much is George Soros paying you? My wife is a Navy veteran of 10 years, enlisted, and she’s equally disgusted with you. Here’s to your failure as “real soldiers” but lacking Army values. L’chaim.
