Letters from Baghdad

Well, it's a good reminder of the difference between the reasons we were given for going there, and the current, we broke it, how will we fix it, dilemma we're in.

That is our damn dilemma, too. I'd love to simply walk away, but my sense of right and wrong tells me that wouldn't be fair play.

Back to yesmans friend- The thing that always gets me is the incredible amount of gear these guys are carrying in 115 degree heat. It's friggin insane.

I don't know if we broke it or we just realized, after being there, how effed up it was. Either way, the situation cannot continue and if we can help, I believe we should.

I also agree that we cannot just simply walk away - that would be the worst thing to do. I would like nothing more than for every soldier to come home, but that is not going to happen.
