Letter to Commanders

I read a letter online in one of the military's web sites addressing a serious problem in Iraq. The letter asks the military leaders of any level to really connect with their reports as often as then can to keep a feel for how the troops are feeling.

This is because the suicide rate is higher than it's been in a long time and they are concerned with lowering this statistic - as well they should be!

What a shame that the brave folks serving over seas, for a cause that no one's really sure about, feel they're pushed beyond the limits they can handle and resort to this.

Loads of Fires in CA

All these fires and they're lucky to be getting the federal assistance. It's nice to see some dollars going to local problems rather than the quagmire while commander cuckoo banana's in charge.
