September 1, 1100, email from Rick Omlight, newspaper deliverer

Of course I remember your enthusiasm about various means of self -defense, but I had no clue that you were an Army Captain on a fund raising mission.

And we steered quite clear of the war in our conversation.  I think Bush has gotten our troops into a mess that will not be easily resolved soon.  This could ultimately be worse than Vietnam because of the international scope of these Muslim fanatics and their terrorist capabilities.  I can only wonder how the returning troops must truly feel about what they are witnessing in that country right now.  Perhaps the news media is overly exaggerating the extent of anguish and mounting hostility of the Iraqi people for the destruction of their orderly but tyrannical existence.

I'm sure as a loyal subject of the U. S. military, it would be quite unlikely for you to disagree with Bush's policies.  It is probably best that you did not mention it when we met.

The biggest impression I got of you was that I'd certainly sign up for your classes if you were running a martial arts program here in Macon GA since your presentation was quite compelling.

I'd love to hear about your adventures whenever you get together an email newsletter.  That would be an efficient way to post everybody on the cheap.  Or if inclined, a website highlighting the salient points of your journey would be cool too.

Honored to have met you,

Rick

September 1, noon, email to Rick Omlight, Georgia ally

Rick, it’s Captain May.  Hey brother, I’m sorry I didn’t talk a little more openly when I bumped into you in Georgia.  I started keeping my cards closer and closer to my vest as I neared Ft. Stewart.

You see, I was on a mission:  scouting.  You’ll understand why in a few minutes.  I’ll ask no more of your time than you gave me while I was downing a Gatorade in front of the store, and I think this will interest you even more than weapons and hand-to-hand combat.  You see, I’m done with the years when I stood in line and took orders, and, frankly, I’m done with Bush.  What is attached will show you how thoroughly I mean that.

Just start reading.  Trust me, you’ll be emailing me back in an hour.
