Jeff Tucker got this email about his classic article on desertion: "I am an active duty member of the United States Marine Corps. I was in for over six years before I decided that I no longer wanted to be a party to the brutal murder of people who, for the most part, simply want us out of their homes. I served in Iraq twice, once for the ground war, and again for 2005-2006. I found this article purely by accident. I have never read anything so close to the mark of my own beliefs, and I simply wished to thank you for writing it."
