Obamanation

To: You know who

From: P.F.C Censored U.S.M.C

It is with great honour that I write you this letter. You are an inspiration to me and the men in my unit. However, I also write you with a deep sadness in my heart. I am afraid that everyone is beginning to forget us. We fought a war here to build a new nation, and it’s not done. The world has moved on to better stories and flashier programs, but we are still here, what’s worse sir, I am starting to forget too. I am starting to forget why I can’t see my fiancee or hold my daughter so I can be spit at and shot at instead. I am forgetting that the anger around me is coming from people. And people are not my enemy. You can’t forget that they are people. If that happens, none of this makes sense. I don’t know what I am asking for, sir. Nothing really. It just helps to write it down and send it into the world. No one will ever read this. Though I wish they would.

FYI: President Obama announced yesterday(18/8/2009) that he was sending another 30 000 troops, bringing the total to over 100 000, the highest to date.
