Letters, We Get Letters

I'm gonna smile and say I hope you're feeling better
I'll close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And I'm gonna make believe it came from you
--I'm Gonna Write Myself a Letter, Billy Wiliams

Dear Comrade Hruska,

. . .

The VFW hopes to rally America in support of our military men and women - those who died . . . those who lost a limb, their eyesight, or their mobility . . . those whose experience of war is still vivid, as well as those who are deployed. Today, thousands of troops are still fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's more important than ever that we stand united in support of those who fight for our freedom.

. . .

We make sure veterans get the entitlements they deserve.

Well, I see they've got the salutation correct: "Comrade Hruska". Things are falling in nicely behind War Czar Lute. If Putin doesn't like us now, I don't know when.

But would somebody please tell Comrade Ranger how the VFW plans to support military men and women who have died?

The entitlements veterans deserve are: to embark upon a mission with a clearly stated objective, realizable with assets at hand and possessing a clearly stated endgame.

If they, and we, were getting those entitlements due us as citizens, there might be fewer limbless, sightless, immobile veterans in our midst.
