Kossacks are crying hoax. That’s not the impression I have after a few conversations … my understanding is that the brother of the chaplain who wrote the e-mail sent it out without his brother’s knowledge. The brother works on the Hill and was hoping to get input on what could be done about such an incident, to make sure no returning vet has to face what his brother did. That e-mail then made it on the web….the rest is history….

UPDATE: More here.
