'An Open Letter to the U.S. House of Representatives
From Marine Corporal Cloy Thomas Richards, March 22, 2007,

For Marine Corps riflemen, the best shooters in the world, the technique we use for proper engagement of targets is to make drastic adjustments if you are missing you mark. Whether it's because of windage or elevation, you cannot keep firing off-target making small adjustments and hope to hit your target. The legislative and executive branches have continually missed the target in Iraq.'

1. Corporal Richards seems to have forgotten that we shouldn't be over there in the first place.

It was all based on lies.

How many of his fellow troops is enough? We're at 3,200+ and counting. How many is enough, Corporal Richards? I appreciate your service, but you really should be home making things safer here.
