Michael Moore publishes letters from current and former troops and their families - all of them decry the Iraq War. I appreciate hearing the voices of those we never hear from: the actual soldiers on the ground, not those in Washington offices who sent them there. A very one-sided and skewed-to-the-left collection of letters, but real letters nonetheless, the writers of which would never be heard if it weren't for Moore. Their disillusionment is palpable and frightening - but I'd also like to hear from the ground troops who support the war. If this was your only resource, you'd think that every single American soldier is against the Iraq war, which I'm pretty sure is not the case.
