Hi all, this was sent to me by a reader. My daughter served in the First Calvery back in Bosnia. These links are to apparent threats to the soldiers. The insurgents for the most part are people defending their country, as well they should be. They are not only entitled to defend themselves, it is morally obligatory. I personally don't know what I can do, but I think we could send this to our lists, and maybe a few Media folks, and your Congressmen. Take Care, Candace

Subject: URGENT plea for help from US soldiers in Iraq
Urgent appeal; Please get us out of here.
We, at the 1st Cavalry Division in Iraq, direct this message to our
families, senators, congressmen and women, and to every person with
life conscious at the homeland.
There are no words that can describe what we face here in Iraq. We
have lost, continue to loose, many of our dearest friends and
comrades. It feels like we are fighting ghosts here, we know that
there will be no way for victory here. The situation keeps only
getting worst!
Imagine that we are fighting people who do not fear death!
They think we are doing them a favor, since death will shorten the
distance between them and paradise.
Additionally, our moral is getting lower daily as we witness the
increasing numbers of the dead and the injured. The numbers
published are much less than the reality.
Needless to mention our suffering of shortage in basic supplies
like; gas, water, food, and hygiene items.
Nevertheless we freely signed for the army, however it never crossed
our mind the kind of danger we will be facing. We would never mind
if this war was for a fare and just cause, but we now know that this
war was only created to satisfy the greed of few people whom will
never ever send their kids to face what we are facing.
We are sending you this message and we are not confident that we
will be able to write another one soon. We feel that death is
waiting for us at every corner.
Our enemy is out there waiting to hunt us. We even get threat
message through our inner email network. Just yesterday we received
the following:
O' God help us get out of here! We urge you to spread this message
at every level, hoping to return home in one piece, not in a body
bag.
Sincerely,
Your Sons & Daughters
