This letter was sent out to American Politicians by a Special Forces Soldier. In it he expresses a lot of the frustration by many members of the military and also a lot of American citizens. It seems to me this is something that they needed to hear. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

That is why I say screw the smart bombs and targeted attacks. And load up our bombers fully with dumb bombs and carpet bomb them to hell.

It was President Theodore Roosevelt that said, "Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick." That statement is true today if you want the world to see that you mean business. The pen has never won wars. Words have never won wars. Action, and the determination to see it thru has.

this is a grenade of a topic. Although I share in some of his sentiments as Active Duty we can't dictate to our civilian leadership or tell them how ate the F**k up they may be.

We can....behind closed doors. It has to be done tactfully, like that 1SG telling his CO that he's messing up.

Probably the best thing I have read in a long time. And I 100% agree with everything that he put down. I have been in the fight since the beginning and I am here at the closing of this clown show in Afghan. It is time to unleash the Hounds of War!

Couldn't agree more PO1 (Join to see). I only wish this guy got to stand up and say this to Congress face to face.
