"They signed up to defend this country which, in case you had forgotten, is still on the United States military's to-do list."
Chloe, what I'd like more than anything is for you to think here for a second. What are the soldiers 'defending' our country against in Iraq? In what way was Iraq a threat to American lives, or even the American way of life, before the American military was directed to invade it? Responding to the rest of your letter would be much easier if you could first just answer this.
