Sinjefe pretty much encapsulates my response to the letter by the former Company Commander which was thoughtful, and understandable.
Just an observation but it seems, when contrasted with the bulk of online outlets of any persuasion recently, that this thread in this forum, with the Quiet Professionals' letter as the topic, has spawned more civil discussion than any blog comments section could hope to achieve. My personal answer to despots remains unchanged. That is distinct from the fact that the letter remains of serious worth.
Some weeks hence now, might be a good time for one to evaluate whether the topic has led us to any other acquaintances who should be getting the benefit of a copy and provide it to them.
