War slaves from Al Lawrence. Sent Saturday, May 22nd 2004. 10:32 a.m. to mike at michael moore dot com. Subject. An old soldier in combat. Thanks you. They serve so that we don't have to. They offered to give up their lives so that we can be free. It is remarkably their gift to us, and all they asked for in return is that we never send them into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary. Will they ever trust us again? Dear Mr More, thank you for these words. I am an old soldier serving in combat in Iraq. Thank you and people like you for saying that these wonderful kids who serve in the military aren't just war slaves to be sent mindlessly into needless wars. At the whim of the foolish, everyone of us in the military swears an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. This war has nothing to do with upholding a defending that constitution. The military is for defending the republic. It is not for overthrowing dictators, building democracy or making the world a better place for everyone else. While these may at times be noble goals. It cannot be the business of a free and democratic society, or else it will cease to be a republic and become an empire. I pray that we will hold this administration accountable and that we teach all our politicians that they are not our lords and masters but are in fact public servants and that none of them is above the law but rather are subject to it. Chicken Hawks Own Patrol From Ted Fatal Sent Tuesday, may 11th 42 2027 PM to mike at michael moore dot com Subject. Iraq Dear Mike, I wanted to tell you to keep up the fight against all the raging stupidity that seems to be going on back home. I just saw on your site where Rush Limbaugh thought this prisoner abuse was some sort of prank. Okay, sure. Does he have any idea that the release of all this only makes the lives of the guys on the ground harder that the guys out there who hate us probably hate us more now? But then again, those pompous fools have never been in a place where being mortared is a daily occurrence. We're hearing and feeling explosions is something that you just get used to. I'm sure Sean Hannity and Limbaugh I've never heard the boom and pray to God that one of their friends didn't just buy it. But the chicken hawks come on over here and do a patrol or two, then watch their attitudes change. I'll keep checking your website as long as I have Internet capability. I've read your books, and aside from endorsing Oprah for president, my wife would never let me hear the end of it. I am in full agreement with you.
