9. Sorry, I don't want to provide link at this point
The guy's address is posted there, so folks can send him letters of encouragement. Now, I am confident that DUers wouldn't send him anything inappropriate, but I wouldn't put it past the Freepers to send him a "Stop whining" letter.

Besides, there are plenty of other letters like this(and news reports) which confirm 3ID's frustration. I just thought this letter provided proper perspective into the situation.

I hope this guy gets home soon...

7. yea, holy s***
if this is real

if he's pissed, imagine the whole 3id being pissed.

MAN.

When (if)they come back, they'll be telling EVERYONE and guess how many people won't be voting for Bush?

Looks like the republicans in colorado have some more redistricting to do :o

11. Why would I make this up?
Edited on Thu Jul-24-03 11:12 AM by a_random_joel
You haven't seen enough of 3ID's frustration to validate this letter?

The only reason I'm not posting a link is out of respect for this guy, as some of his personal info is out there, and I don't think it's appropriate.

The other posters at this forum(the football one, not DU) are making this political enough in this poor guy's thread, so I don't need to be driving EITHER side (especially lurking Freepers) over there.

I just thought it was a touching letter.

13. with 5 guys dead in two days, I think it's real
especially AFTER Hussiens' sons(?) were killed. I just take alot of stuff on the web with a grain of salt, and maybe I should have kept that to myself. But, the way it's worded I seems like all hell could break lose any day now. And for the life of me, I don't understand how Bush Inc. thinks it can keep a lid on that.

4. I hope the Repuke-loving military will read this
All the military types who think that wars are just something you slip-on, like a flag, need to wake up to the idea that war planners do NOT have the people of the military in mind.

5. Mail tent caught fire....
don't doubt it. Is Halliburton in charge of THOSE logistics, too? Can't let the military families exchange info?

8. I was going to say something about that too
But I try to check my :tinfoilhat: at the door as much as possible (it's hard, but I DO try.) Who knows how the mail tent caught on fire? But it does make you pause for a moment, doesn't it?

6. Geez
Poor guy, he sounds really frazzled. My heart goes out to all those guys.

3ID- if you're out there- we're here for you and we're trying to bring you home! God Bless and keep you all safe.

16. Free the 3rdID
Democrats need to demand that American troops be replaced by UN troops. It is the right thing to do and it would help politically with many independents and the military and military supporters vote. It also would be hilarious to hear Bush try to explain why this is not a good idea. He might hurt himself. Both physically and politically.

19. "Democrats need to demand that American troops be replaced by UN troops."
The UN doesn't have an army, they just take command of the armies of other nations. My guess is you'd still have US troops over there, they'd just be wearing blue UN helmts.

18. My apologies
I just looked over this soldier's post again. The Digital Division, is actually 4ID. He's only been there since the end of April!!!

Guess that makes it TWO divisions that are frustrated...
