Dear Mr. Kristol,
Thank you for your thoughtful eloquence in urging further sacrifice from your fellow citizens.
If I may put forward a suggestion: Leave New York City for an afternoon and travel down to DC. Go to the Mall. Ask a police officer for directions to the Wall.
Go there. Look at those names. That, sir, is sacrifice. Might I ask where you were when that war was raging?
I, sir, find it unconscionable that you would call feckless those who might have tired of a war waged under false pretenses. Should you believe so deeply in the correctness of this current conflict, I would suggest you might wish to volunteer to take the place of some young person in Iraq.
Back in the '60s, there were a number of conservatives who did just that.
They, sir, where patriots. You, sir, are a chicken hawk.
