that was weak shakran.
this letter could have been written just as sincerely from any number of veterans... yet you attack the messenger and use it to rationalize discounting the entire letter. north's iran contra ordeal does nothing to assuage the pain of the POW experience of the soldiers cited in the letter.
i know you can do a better job of rebutting than that.
