Let's stop all the political nonsense, let's stop all the bickering, let's stop all the bad news and let's stand and fight!

I found this letter to be deeply disturbing. I have received hundreds of letters from our service members while deployed in Iraq and have never received one indicating that the "
American people" were the "
real enemy". If our fighting forces really believed that, morale would be through the floor...and I am happy to report that morale is still extremely high despite the adversity and extensions.
I took a look around this site which appears to be ultra-conservative, and I came across an article posted in the Religion section.
The New Media Journal | Do Sinners Get Saved During Christmas? by David Jeffers
Look at the byline, the author is a
David Jeffers...now I get the connection!
Fortunately the vast majority of our fighting men and women do not hold the same views about their fellow countrymen.
There is one suggesgtion in Sgt. Eddie Jeffers letter that I
do agree with though..."Let's stop all the
political nonsense".
