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 Senate is shooting them in the back. They, and the enemy, are being told our troops can fight as hard as they want, but it is 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.
