I can only say two things about this story….

Wisconsin
retailer criticised for anti-war e-mail (Reuters)

Reuters - A U.S. retailer has been deluged with angry messages since an
employee sent an e-mail to an American soldier in Iraq saying "if you
were sensible, you and your troops would pull out of Iraq."

First, If he wants American soldiers out of Iraq, then he needs to work
through lawful means of convincing the President to order our troops to
return home. No one soldier has the authority to just pull out because
they don’t want to be there, at the very least that’s called desertion.
Encouraging a soldier to desert his post can easily be a crime in and of
itself.

Second, I’m not surprised that Bargain Suppliers of West Allis,
Wisconsin fired the employee who sent the email. I have no doubt that if
this person’s name becomes known they’re going to have a hard time
getting a good job.
