Last night, (Friday 25 July) over the course of several hours, I had email exchanges with various members of the milblog community, including Matt Burden of Blackfive, regarding the original email.
The content, or subject matter, of the email is one Army officer's view of the events of the day.
True or not, the email itself is genuine and was sent by a member of the military.
Snopes has it listed as false, based on their investigations. However there is a final entry on the Snopes page that should be noted.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/afghanistan.asp
Reading the Snopes page would leave one with the impression that the email is false, but the last few paragraphs on Snopes are the enigma.
The author of the email was contacted by Snopes.
He responded and asked that the email be removed because it was intended only for his family. (Good luck with that)
Based on that, the email itself is real.
It is the CONTENT of the email that Snopes is listing as false, not the fact that the email was sent.
When the text of the email was posted on Blackfive, Matt had removed all identifying references, including the Army officer's name, out of respect for his privacy.
When the email itself began its journey through the MAIL system, the person who forwarded it did not give the Army officer the same courtesy.
Here’s a tip for future events of this nature:
REMOVE ALL REFERENCES TO IDENTITY.
We owe the members of our military at least that much and it will hinder Snopes investigations which will result in them being unable to give a definite true or false.
(Whether that’s a good or bad thing remains to be seen.)
I will respectfully ask that you backtrack and send this back up the line to your respective email loops.

As you've probably heard by now, Move America Forward has launched a drive to send the largest single shipment of care packages to U.S. troops - in history! Today I am pleased to announce two very big additions to our effort. Talk radio legend, Rush Limbaugh, and television & radio personality Monica Crowley, have both signed on to support this drive and will be appearing on the June 26th 8-hour web-a-thon, "From the Frontlines." (The program will be streamed live online from 4:00pm - Midnight [Eastern] ... 1:00pm - 9:00 pm [Pacific] ). Details follow below. For right now we need to keep selling more and more care package sponsorships so we can reach our historic goal! Order online here: CLICK HERE to SPONSOR CARE PACKS FOR TROOPS
Keep checking the www.MoveAmericaForward.org website for exciting new announcements about our historic care package campaign in the coming days! |

That's Something to be Proud Of
It's even better in that I have met this gentleman backstage, watched as he and Troy Gentry took an active duty soldier and made him the center of attention for 15 minutes after performing a live show and have I friends in Kentucky who know Eddie Montgomery personally.
Last year we were standing in frozem mud, which turned to slush as the temperature rose to just above freezing. Last year we stood on the sidewalks and screamed at the moonbats and assclown posse as they called our troops war criminals and murderers and spit on some of our members.
What a difference a year makes. 366 days. 52.4 weeks.
Well, this year, we did it a little differently. This year we took the street and showed the world what true patriotism looks like.
My very good friend Katie O'Malley has some observations on the weekend's festivities. Please leave a comment, and I'll have more on this later this evening, with some additional comments from This Ain't Hell.(but you can see it from here)
Jonn Lilyea from This Ain't Hell has some great pictures and commentary.
Ronald Winter, USMC and Viet Nam veteran acted as if meeting ME was the highlight of the day on Friday. He's actually got me linked on his blog. Now order his book, cause you'll love it.
Ladies and Gentlemen, for your viewing pleasure, I give you Eagles one year later:
On this day in 1941, the United Serviceman's Organization was formed.
