A Highly Compelling Letter to the Editor, See if You Agree...
of the website, www.whatreallyhappened.com

This letter was posted in the letters section of the website. The author's name has been deleted from the post so I am unable to provide proper credit. Just the same, it's worth sharing-

READER: GIs At Walter Reed Need Phone cards Now!

Send them to.. `Any Soldier`
C/O Medical Family Assistance Center
Walter Reed Medical Center
6900 Georgia Ave North west
Washington Dc. 20307

This is really sickening, The men and women the Chicken hawks said they would always support who are lying in hospital beds are saying they now need phone cards,The number one request from our vets right now is prepaid phone cards,Remember most are from poor families.Our government is continuing taxcuts,they will not pay phone charges,so many of our sick and injured vets are rationing the calls home.Many will be there over the holidays. I`m sorry i`m losing it. Just do what you can. This is so pathetic!

I sent ten 10.00 phone cards,but if a bunch of you out ther just send two 5.00 cards each it will really help.. They will surely love you for it. Hug your loved ones as hard as you can.Treasure the fact that you have them to hold! They don`t need any thing but your love. Instead of a festive mood for the holidays in protest of this fucking war and shine a single white candlestick electric or battery in one of your main front windows. Nothing spectacular,Make a statement,put a small sign up that says end the war now ,and bring our troops home.. Don`t go nuts for the Holidays please! Don`t make the corporations rich,let them go to hell. There`s nothing to be happy about,What the hell and who the hell would we be fooling? If someone in your family is home from the war be grateful,but don`t flaunt it! Others are still there, and so many more will be injured and killed before they are finally set free from the harms way that Bush placed them in. Make sure you don`t direct your hate to the Iraqi people.They did not bring this on themselves.. Remember who sent our troops over there to fight an unjust war.

Don`t just pray for peace write letters till your hands hurt call your represenitives weekly.and don`t exclude the media whores who sat back and helped Bush get his war on.Write them too!They are just as responsible! Don`t shut up,Don`t give up!Don`t get that glazed look on your faces,and just go on with your lives attitude,we have got to keep active and keep complaining!

It would be really nice to fight for John Kerry if he was worth fighting for,but he doesn`t even want to fight for himself,what does that tell you? He`s a phony.another useful idiot. The real fight is still to end the war,and let the bums occupying the Whitehouse know that we are ashamed and totally disastified with them,all of them. They have let us down. They don`y speak for us any more.

1. Well, um, no.
I do agree with a lot of their sentiments, but I don't see who they're going to persuade or exactly what they want to accomplish.

3. Well, well, we know that this administration does not
care for the troops....

I ain't celebreating this season, there is no hope left and it is my way to resist,

Next time I go down to Costco though, I will see if I can find some prepaid cards to send to John Reed...

Those people disgust me
