I am now writing to Kenny who leads a Marine sniper team deploying into Ramadi. Besides the primary shooter there is a spotter and two Marines providing security. Now from half a world away, the House of Representatives is shooting them in the back. They, and the enemy, are being told our troops can fight as hard as they want, but their sacrifices for human freedom for these people are a waste of their lives. They cannot defend themselves from such an attack. Their enemy now knows that they just need to hold out for a few more months, and this country will run away.
