US Senate
Dear Sen. Corker,

Your daughter, Julia, doesn't get R&R. She's either buried too deep with sorority duties or on the run from one frat party to another. Her idea of a great R&R is receiving the simple gift of an iPhone. She only has two ways out: expulsion or marriage. Yet no one is asking to give her more time off between semesters, and she wouldn't want it anyway. She understands the concept of duty.
You did the right thing by voting against resting our troops, but you need to do more. You need to address the class-based inequities our young people of military age face. While your daughter dances her way to exhaustion, attempting to live up to the expectations we place on a Republican official's child, there are many soldiers from less deserving families lying in hospital beds and using their wounds as an excuse to avoid fulfilling their duty to us.
Wounded soldiers suck a tremendous amount of resources from our military while contributing nothing to the war effort. I hope you will propose an amendment requiring the military to make better use of these soldiers. There is simply no reason why they can't be strapped to armored personnel carriers or tanks and be sent out on missions. To expect anything less from them is to not support them.
We're not Democrats. We don't disrespect our troops by demanding they be brought home. No, we show our support by providing them with the honor of risking their lives for something much bigger than them, the opportunity to save us from the embarrassment of admitting to making a mistake. There is no higher calling for a working class young man or woman than that.
Heterosexually yours,
Gen. JC Christian, patriot
