A letter from Iraq

At And Rightly So, Raven has reprinted a letter to The Union Leader from a Marine in Iraq in its entirety.

In the second option, seeing things through to the end, the United States will carry a heavy burden on the deficit and will not see any monetary gain from this aid we are providing to the Middle East for many years to come. In any normal business, if you saw this loss versus gain, you would be a wise person to cut your losses and move on, but this is not a business, this is a civilization. This concerns a whole nation of people and not just a few jobs lost due to layoffs.

Visit Raven to read the rest of it.  The letter will still be there long after it disappears from The Union Leader website.
