Another letter from a mother who lost her son

Mr. Rumsfeld:

My son Lt. Seth J. Dvorin was killed in Iraq on 2/3/04, and to this date my family has not received the reasons as to why he died. All we know is that he was sent on a suicide mission, to be a sitting duck. His mission was not what he was trained in nor did he have the proper equipment. Can you answer me and other family members why this is so? Would would love to have an answer from you.
A quote from you " I hope and pray that every family member of those who have died so bravely knows how deeply I feel their loss" and that he "stays awake at night for concern for those at risk" well if any of that were true then one you would have the courage to meet with the dissenters and would have personally signed the condolence letters.
More importantly you would not have sent troops into a country without having some thought as to what they needed to survive and win this war.
My son was a young man that had a future ahead of him wether in the service or out in the work field but you cut it short.
He did not join out of loyality to his country althought he was loyal, but based upon the salemenship of the recruitors.
Again I have to ask the question of you and the members of the Bush administration HOW CAN NONE OF YOU OR YOUR FAMILIES ARE SERVING IF THIS IS SUCH A JUSTIFIED WAR AND YOU VOTED FOR IT.
This is just one of the questions we would like answered.

You have until the 10th of the month January to give us an answer or as stated before the press will be informed of you lack of concern for FAMILIES.
