was fictional because (I'm condensing here), "no marine grunt could write that well." That's the only part of this "debate" I am debating. Yes, that letter could have been, and probably was, written by a marine officer. Period. That's all I'm saying.

As to the content? What would one expect from a gung-ho Annapolis grad? I don't agree with his sentiments, but he is entitled to them.
I was his age and believed like he did at one time; I grew out of it. I'm sure he will too, especially when he sees more of his friends die in vain.

I have NO reason to doubt that young Lt Brown DOES exsist and that he is what he says he is: a 2001 USNA graduate and a marine helo pilot. Do you believe otherwise? If so, why?
