Stars & Stripes letters to editor. 'Iraq War Is against all Army Values'
http://www.estripes.com/article.asp?section=125&article=16999

this is just part of one lengthy letter to the editor.....


...It is so much worse. If I could only find the words to describe the harsh reality here in Kuwait and Iraq, I would. Politics and selfishness are at the lead of this nation-building operation, the complete opposite of all Army values.

So the next time anyone wants to slam NCOs or any other soldiers for the situation that we’re in, they shouldn’t blame us. They should look at the big picture and see what hell we live in out here. They have no right to sit in Germany or the States and judge us and our conditions.

Spc. Jason K. Sapp

1. That is a powerful letter

Here is another link you might want to bookmark. Their letters are also very powerful writings. I don’t know what to clip as “important” from these letters.
