First of a couple letters in response to the Marine’s diatribe yesterday:

I am a Captain in the Army. I will soon deploy to Kuwait. I was recently there as a liaison between the army and the marines training there. I can tell you that I have never met a single Marine or G.I. who shares the viewsof that letter writer.
Although you may not be deploying to Kuwait with us, you are making a valuable contribution. It is important for those of us who do go to know we will be fighting a just war. Your arguments help give us that peace of mind. So thanks.
