Found this story on the local tv website today. Seems that an injured soldier received a Christmas card that said "PLEASE DIE". This is disturbing on so many levels: 1) it's unbelievably despicable for whomever sent the card. I'm trying to fathom what would compel someone to do that to an injured soldier. 2) you absolutely KNOW that this story will become part of the pro-war script for decades to come 3) it was never reported where that card came from... was it from someone he knew? was it from an completely ignorant teen trying to be funny? Was it from a disturbed person?

I'm just putting this story out here because I know DU, and I know that not one of us would EVER entertain the thought of sending hate mail to soldiers, and of course, to injured soldiers. Last time we did a military roll call, we found out how many of the DUers have served or are serving our country right now.

A pox on the person who sent that hateful card... for whatever purpose.

ON EDIT: Did some checking, and the card was sent by a kid, as I had suspected. This has become a cause celebre in the Faux News and Michelle Malkin circles. On her site, if you can stomach it, there is a copy of the card apparently penned by a kid. Stupid sick kid.
