Oh Lord, They Gave Hack a Gun

(This post is dedicated to Bill, who's back from the 'Stan, and Mark, who's en route)

Regardless of your politics, I think we can all agree that sending letters to servicemen stationed overseas, especially around the holidays, is a very nice thing to do. It's a classic "it's the thought that counts" gesture, and I doubt they'd very much care how eloquent your writing was.

If you know Hack - and if you attended Case Western Reserve between 1997 and 2003, you know Hack - then you'll understand why this letter was as eloquent as it gets. From the mouths of babes...


Dear Lieutenant Hack, I hope you came back safely. Thank you for helping our country. My name is David and I'm a kind of kid who believes in winning.
