I’m not surprised that a moron like James K. Herron would write a letter like this (scroll down to the 7th letter):

We have a well-organized body of arms bearers in the National Rifle Association — 2 million or so dues-payers, according to what I have read about NRA membership. Why not call upon these strong patriots to volunteer to serve in Iraq? They should require minimum training in the use of the arms; no one would argue or contest their use of automatic weapons (or even bigger and more powerful guns —- even rocket launchers). They wouldn’t have to be paid, being pure volunteers, the U.S. manpower problems would be solved and last, but not least, the Pentagon could devote more of its budget to “Star Wars” and no-bid contracts for Halliburton and not have to waste it on armored vehicles for our regular Army.

I am, however, surprised that a newspaper would print such rubbish.

Note to James: if you’re going to write something so asinine, you should probably change to an unlisted phone number.
