(I received this letter from a friend. I think it sums up pretty well the sickening realities facing an old war Vet in today as well as yesterday's political climate). "I'm Tired" Two weeks ago, as I was starting my sixth month of duty in Iraq, I was forced to return to the USA for surgery for an injury I sustained prior to my deployment. With luck, I'll return to Iraq to finish my tour.
