Dear Comrades in Arms,
You are facing challenges in 2007 that we of previous generations never dreamed of. I'm just an old fighter pilot (101 combat missions in Vietnam , F-4 Phantom, Phu Cat, 1969-1970) who's now a disabled veteran with terminal cancer from Agent Orange. Our mailing list (over 22,000) includes veterans from all branches of the service, all political parties, and all parts of the political spectrum. We are Republicans and Democrats, Greens and Libertarians, Constitutionists and Reformers, and a good many Independents. What unites us is our desire for a government that (1) follows the Constitution, (2) honors the truth, and (3) serves the people.
We see our government going down the wrong path, all too often ignoring military advice, and heading us toward great danger. And we look to you who still serve as the best hope for protecting our nation from disaster.
From: Robert M. Bowman, PhD, Lt. Col., USAF, ret.

How did an F4 Phantom pilot come into contact with Agent Orange? I thought it was sprayed from C-123 Providers in the delta regions of South Vietnam? There is a possibility it got spilled at Phu Cat, since there were some C-123 'Ranch Hand' aircraft based there. But that seems rather unlikely.

The name at least is genuine, that I do know, and he was an F4 pilot as well as being involved to some degree in the space program I seem to recall.

Don't know but the second to last paragraph is probably going to earn him a visit from the Secret Service.

That last line definatly looks like a call for Mutiny or Coup from the U.S Military.
