"I was on the flight deck when Bush landed," said one sailor, who did not want his name printed. "It was a slap in the face."

3. Okay

I don't think I'm buying this one as legit. Sounds like someone writing bad fiction.

5. Same here.

The dialogue doesn't ring true.

CFTM-- “Did you see a lot of your buddies get killed? How did it affect you?”

USA-- “How the hell do you think it affected me? I saw over 30 of the men I had to keep safe die, and over 100 get wounded and not come back. I still don’t know if some of the wounded men made it or not. I was never told before I came back home.”



Total BS.

8. No.

It's a load of bullcrap. "I read Noam Chomsky, but fuck this motherfucking shit." Please. It's a mixture of military cliches and an idealized version of a grunt.

7. If they went to the hospital in Germany

and died there, he wouldn't have to write the letter, so he wouldn't know they had died of wounds.Or if they subsequently died in Walter Reed.

What's suspicious?

He is probably endangering his career, because the military can figure out who are their top enlisted people in units that have this number of casualties.Expect him to "retire" soon.
