I share these only once in a while, but this one I couldn't keep to myself. From a soldier in Afghanistan:

"Your work, which I found by accident, has had a profound influence on my life. I personally think that I am indebted to you, as a voice of reason through unreasonable times:"I remember the night I caught you on CSPAN-2 giving a talk about your new book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History. I had always considered myself a self-proclaimed history buff. However I remember vividly how heretical your talk sounded in light to the standard statist mantra in regard to American History. Particularly as you touched on World War 1, which your points instantly made sense, nomatter how pro-war I was. I remember thinking: 'This guy is absolutely right, how come no one ever says anything like this? World War 1 was a stupid engagement and we got nothing but problems from it.' So naturally I had to read your book, if nothing else, to find all the flaws in your "unpatriotic" positions. I remember how happy I was to see the cover and all the instant quick jabs to the common views on American History bulleted right on the jacket.

"I was expecting an authoritarian tone and enough condescension to make Donald Rumsfeld jealous. Instead I got what I consider American History for Dummies. You make a basic point, plead to the reader to reason, and point them to a huge number of sources to do their own homework. I've always wondered why authors rarely ever point you to their homework. It's always tucked away in the back printed in that annoying font they always use! So after I read your book I began reading some of the books you suggested. One thing led to another and from Powell to DiLorenzo, I found myself in transition from a thick in the wool Republican/Statist to a Libertarian. A transition from which the catalyst [was] your televised talk.... If you hadn't been there, I can say with some certitude that I would have never heard the name Murray Rothbard....

"Although my vote won't count, absentee ballot from Afghanistan, I'm writing in my choices this year. I wanted to let you know I'll be writing you in as the Vice President to Ron Paul. Don't worry, it's a sweet gig; do nothing job."
