My husband, Ed and I were talking at dinner tonight. We were listening to the radio and (TKK) and a number of guys were calling in who've returned from Iraq. All of them were saying that we've won the war, now we're cleaning up. One said he just got home and was part of the units that were charged with security for the last elections they had. He said that this country has never seen a turnout to vote like they just had over there, yet people here bitch.
Ed came up with the idea that every soldier over there (when and if possible) should send a letter to their home town newspaper - "letter to the editor" type thing and tell them the good that you all are doing. Tell them that you believe you're winning, and that the majority of the Iraqi people are glad you're there. I wouldn't bother writing to the Boston Globe, or the NY Times, etc. as they won't print it, but the home town papers most likely will.
Tank, as far as I know, you're the only one on this forum who's there now. Maybe you could suggest to your brothers (and sisters if any), that they do that. I'm sure you could do an internet search to see if there's an email link for a letter, or you could email it to Mrs. T and she could mail it in for you.
More of you guys need to write to the folks to let them know the media is full of Bravo Siera.
