A couple of things need to be understood here before we get back to the letter at hand & the tactics being used on both sides to get what they want.
This is not a chest beating contest on Patriotism,,, I too am a veteran, from a long line of veterans, we have seen it all too.
The government is not my enemy now, nor when I actively served. The same men & women who work for the government we are bashing here, have veterans in some of their families.
Don't put words in the mouths of our dead to justify an opinion here, not right,,, not fair to me & others to who believe as I do, on the letter.
