Sounds like a genuine letter from my experience. The part about thinking of home brought tears to my eyes. I am sure that's what my husband thinks about a lot. For folks who are picking this thing apart, just stop and absorb reality. Our troops have a right to complain, what they do is hard work.
I have no issue with a military person bitching...
The fact that Time magazine is the one publishing it is what I have an issue with.
I agree with you. They can bitch all they want...they have earned the right to do so. I say that because I know the American military person will bitch, but they will do their job damned well.
