Mr. Goldberg,

I am writing in regard to the obnoxious Marine who sent you the note criticizing your support for President Bush and our impending invasion of Iraq. I just wanted to reiterate (since I am sure you already know) that if he is actually an officer in the US military, he represents a tiny minority of servicemen. I am in the service and do not know anyone who considers ridding this world of Saddam Hussien a less than worthy use of our nation’s military. Additionally, the degree to which this endeavor is driven by US national interest rather than anything else is so obvious that it barely even comes up as matter of conversation.

I can not say that everyone is completely enthusiastic about going to fight in Iraq. (It obviously entails separation from family, hardship, etc.)

However, those who will be doing it are quite aware that it needs to be

done.

Keep up the good work.

Best regards,

[Name Withheld]
