letter from an E&P reader:
I couldn't agree more with Ted Rall's cartoon questioning Pat Tillman's hero credentials. (See "Ralls' 'Tillman' Cartoon Pulled by MSNBC.com".)
I am a combat veteran of Vietnam and the first Gulf war and retired Army chief warrant officer. My military service and duty to America spanned over 32 years. I also have a son that just recently returned from a year's combat service in Iraq.
I stand strongly on my belief that I have a right to protect my family, property, and borders of this country. However, I have no right (and neither does my son) to kill and murder for government.
How ignorant and absurd many Americans believe that the conflict we are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, some 6,000 miles away, have something to do with protecting our freedoms (what's left of them).

Mr Salazar, would you describe your son as an "Idiot" or a "Sap", as Rall did Pat Tillman?
No doubt you believe that your son joined the combat service in Iraq in order to kill Arabs, as Rall stated about Tillman?
Perhaps you would care to list a freedom that you have lost recently?
I don't buy it--sounds like another guy with Micah Wright credentials.
