This is what I sent him:

Seems as though the big city life has rotted your brain. That generalization is akin to all the generalizations about the Vietnam vets that you made in your article. Better yet, why don’t we send the World War II vets over there, the ones that are dying like flies right now because of old age. Since they are about to die, we could put them on the front line you moron. Better yet, we could send all the journalists over there like you, because the Iraqis would be concentrating on shooting you in the back while you run away, so the real men and women (i.e., the actual men and women in the armed forces) could get the drop on these Iraqis while the Iraqis are shooting at you. I bet you wouldn’t stand a chance against a Vietnam War Vet and I bet you would be the first guy running for the hills if the Chinese invaded the US.

Since you are so smart, why don’t you come up with some real solutions to the nation’s troubles. How about figuring out how to end our stay in Iraq and Afghanistan AND ensure that there isn’t another terrorist attack on US soil. Since our occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq I don’t think there has been a single successful terrorist attack against the US. After you figure that one out, how about trying to figure out our problem with national health care. When you finish that, how about trying to figure out how to make the tax code a little less cumbersome. I’m a CPA and the tax code gives me a headache every once in a while. Oh yeah, I’m an attorney too and the insurance industry is another disaster. How about giving us some insight on fixing that one up. While you are at it, figure out how we can get new homes to all those that lost their home in hurricane Katrina, and how about doing it without raising taxes, maybe even balancing the budget, and you would be the man if you could get rid of the national debt.

You truly are an idiot if you think it is so easy for the President to send men and women to fight a war, knowing that some of them will die. If this country relied on people like you, we would still be under British rule because you wouldn’t even have a gun in your house to fight the British. I hope you have thousands of voicemails and e-mails waiting for you.

It is easy to criticize, but how about putting your effort toward something useful I thought of a couple of suggestions, but they are pretty crude so I will let them be. I don’t want to stoop to your level you moron.
