BOR and Seaver are actually very correct.

I served and what I was told by everyone including my recruiter, read the contract and know that no oral or implied agreements are binding.

In other words, if it ain't in the papers you sign..... it doesn't exist.

I see this as being 1 of a couple things and I don't see any validity to this in any of my possibilities.

1) Someone being creative to get more anti-war sentiment going.

2) Someone being creative to set the anti war people up by later proving this letter a fake.

3) Someone being creative to make some money, gain some fame, whatever.

4) Someone being creative to divide this country even more and lower morale on the lines.

I'm sure you can see what they all have in common.

Look, let's try to find a way to get our troops home without lowering morale or making them sound like cold blooded killers and evil people.

We did that in 'Nam and it took us years to recover....if in fact we ever have.
