Letter from an Unknown Soldier

Priceless. The Corner picks up a supposed email from a marine in Iraq assuring us that things are hunky dory in Iraq, P.S. send more troops. Unfortunately, the email is more than an year old, when it made the rounds amoung the winger blogs, often presented as the writings of a Friend of a Friend. Hmm...either this marine is one well-connected individual or we might wanna call Snopes.

Keep a pinch of salt handy next time you debate a winger on healthcare and he or she miraculously reproduces a friend of a second cousin who said Canadian healthcare was just the pits and she had to fly all the way to the U.S. for her knee surgery.
