1- To all you people in the morning commute that are in such a hurry to get to work that you feel the need to kiss my rear bumper, cut me off just so you can be one car ahead at the red light, make insanely dangerous lane changes, fly out of the on-ramp 50 feet before the freeway starts, and last but not least, 20+ over the speed limit? I say this:
Leave the house earlier, don't hit the snooze "one more time", settle down. why are you in such a hurry to get to work anyway. don't tell me you love your job so much that you'd risk your life and that of others to get there. Seriously, the alarm clock? set it 15 minutes earlier. even 10 I don't care. just stop sniffing my tail pipe. a deer might run out in front of me then we'd both be in a world of hurt.
2- If you drive a company vehicle with the name plastered all over it. especially if your the owner. co-owner, silent partner, etc. etc. I say this:
Do not drive like the examples in #1, because I have an excellent memory, and I wil NOT buy any product, use your service, or spend my hard earned money on whatever it is you depend on to make a living.
This is intended to be "friendly" advice, and I am not pointing the finger at anyone specific.
Thanks for listening. or reading....... or whatever just thanks.

Striking similarities to current day coverage and attitudes:
General Giap was a brilliant, highly respected leader of the North Vietnam military.
The following quote is from his memoirs currently found in the Vietnam war memorial in Hanoi :
"What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battles of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice your media were definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!"

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter this came from go to www.grunt.com They sometimes get submisions from people in Iraq telling how things are really going over there.
I know, I know your saying to yourself; "but the media already tells us how things are going over there."
I'm here to say no they don't.
