Letter to the Editor: Troop Surge Controversy

I just emailed copies of the letter below to the local newspapers. Instead of waiting for snail news, you can read it now.



Dear Editor:

Why all this fuss about the President’s call for more American troops in Iraq? Our President knows what he’s doing. After all, during the Vietnam War, he fought in the rice paddies against the Viet Cong, toe to toe with the enemy, his inspirational bravery recognized by a Purple Heart. And don’t forget Vice President Cheney who served five tours of duty in Nam, right there in the thick of battle. With their extensive military backgrounds, both men know what war is like.
