    You need to read that. They are letters sent by the soldiers you support.

    I'll point out a few that stood out to me.

    >>It's hard listening to my platoon sergeant saying, "If you decide you want to kill a civilian that looks threatening, shoot him. I'd rather fill out paperwork than get one of my soldiers killed by some raghead." We are taught that if someone even looks threatening we should do something before they do something to us. I wasn't brought up in fear like that, and it's going to take some getting used to.<<

    >>People's perceptions of this war have done a complete 180 since we got here. We had someone die in a mortar attack the first week, and ever since then, things have changed completely. Soldiers are calling their families urging them to support John Kerry. If this is happening elsewhere, it looks as if the overseas military vote that Bush is used to won't be there this time around.<<

    Yes, I support soldiers that agree and disagree with Bush. Regardless of who they support, they're still overseas serving their country ... So yes I support those troops as well. Maybe you should try doing the same.

    I've see letters saying the complete opposite. I have a friend that is there that I talk to weekly, who says the opposite. I talk to a girl on here who has a boyfriend over there that says the opposite. My mother has a friend whos son is there who says that opposite.
