Dear General Casey,
Sir, I write to alert you to a scandalous act of treachery, during time of war, by the portly cinematographer Michael Moore. On his website yesterday he posted an open letter to President Obama on the subject of General Stanley McCrystal. He said:
“Let me be blunt: We love our kids in the armed services, but we f*#&in’ hate these generals, from Westmoreland in Vietnam to, yes, even Colin Powell for lying to the UN with his made-up drawings of WMD…”
(http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/mikes-letter/open-letter-president-obama-michael-moore)
Please find enclosed $20, which I hope you will use towards the prosecution of this unpatriotic scoundrel.
Moore’s gripe appears to be that our military leaders often appear to be mendacious dissemblers.
But what would happen to morale if general officers blurted out that Iraq is the worst hell disaster in US history or Afghanistan an endless, pointless, mind-numbingly futile meat grinder?
Yours Sincerely
Andy Bain
PS. The Rolling Stone article, which led to General McCrystals defenestration, is a national disgrace too. How can we defeat illiterate peasants in the third world when unwashed hippies in this country are allowed to pen, “The general’s staff is a handpicked collection of killers, spies, geniuses, patriots, political operators and outright maniacs?”
