Running an idea by ya...Follow

I've been involved in writing soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan since the war began. Today, watching the news before heading out to work I caught some more of the same, bomber kills some Iraqi security forces in Baghdad. Those guys have a real rough job, worse than our own soldiers in some regards (besides being home).

So anyway, I was thinking about how I write our soldiers to try to help keep their morale up, keep em sane, and it occured to me that it might be nice to actually have some sort of program for writing to Iraqi security forces as well. I'm not fully sure where to start on this though. Web design wouldn't be a problem, I also have a couple of friends who can write in Arabic to do translations (would probably need a bunch more later but...baby steps!). The thing is, how to get these letters/e-mails out to them? I'm thinking of writing to some of the soldiers in Iraq I speak with about it, to ask if they would be able and/or interested in helping out.

Basically I just wanted to throw this up here to get some feedback. The asylum is no holds barred, and I figure doing something like this will be rough tough so why not start getting used to all the **** right away by posting here, and then see if I still feel like putting in the effort.

If anyone has any thoughts, or has seen a project like this on the net anywhere, please clue me in. It's definitely something I'd like to be involved in. OK, flame on.

Here Ladies and Gentlemen is a sample of an e-mail from Xtremereign to a U.S. soldier serving in Iraq:

Ola Hombres!!!

I just wanted to send a big shout out and thanks to all of you dudes putting your asses on the line over in Iraq to protect my freedom here back in the kick *** U.S.A.. Especially with all those eyeyatollahs trying to blow your asses off with those bomb jackets, man those guys really know how to live balls-out. Anyway I saw some stuff on the web somewhere about how you guys were really bored and could use some cheering up and stuff, and I figured "Man if anybody knows how to cheer some dudes up and be the party its Extremereign!!!1111!oneone!!!lawlbuttsekks!!!"

First thing I'm gonna do, if I can get the money together, is buy myself a bag of weed, big enough to last me at least a couple of months. Then I'm gonna get all my friends together at my place to smoke up and eat pizza. Then, when we're full, we'll smoke up again and play WOW, with my level 60 Orc Warrior "Exxxtreemtokes",then after that were going to take a break and mail you dudes some of our weed and stuff because I heard them eyeatollahs don't 4:20, which I find hard to beleive because they wear them Jesus robes and look like disciples and ****. I mean we all know Jesus did more then drink some wine at that party right?.

After everyone leaves, I'm gonna go to bed and sleep as late as I want. Then I'm gonna get up and start all over again and play some more WOW and listen to my favorite band Dream Theater.

I was also thinking of sendin some tunes in our carepackage, but fu[/black]ckin Ipods are damn expensive and I can't afford to send even one for you dudes to share, so me and my Hombres are going to burn some music on a cd and send it to you dudes. I hope you like Dream Theater they fu[black]ckin Rock!!!!

Well I hope you dudes like your presents and stuff but Extremereign hears a MGD and a well packed bowl callin his name. But in case you guys get bored and stuff waiting for my "package", here are some cool links for you to look at:

The most Rockin Band Ever!!!



Your Hombre Xtremreign.

Let me make this simple for you. Write the other side instead, and then they'll all jump on a bomb to keep from getting additional letters, and then we can 'win' and get the heck out of there. I think you'd be a big help.
