Today I stumbled upon Books for Soldiers (www.booksforsoldiers.com) an excellent program which links Americans serving overseas up with books and other materials. While I admire this program, I was shocked to see that Michael Moore is using this opportunity to ship thousands of copies of his books and DVD’s overseas to propagandize American servicemen, apparently in an effort to destroy their morale. I can’t imagine that anyone sitting in the Mesopotamian desert could read Dude, Where’s My Country? and come out feeling good about themselves or their service (that being, if they take Michael Moore seriously). This is an utterly low and loathsome practice- the deliberate dissemination of treasonous material to America’s fighting forces in a combat zone.

So, let’s hit back: let’s make sure that we can get some conservative reading material overseas to our embattled heroes. I’ve already put up for offer the following:

2 Copies of "Red Storm Rising" by Tom Clancy
2 Copies of "The Third World War: August 1985" by General Sir John Hackett
1 Copy of "Arc Light" by Eric L. Harry
1 Copy of "The Way Things Ought to Be" by Rush Limbaugh
1 Copy of "Fatherland" by Robert Harris
1 Copy of "Starship Troopers" by Robert Heinlein
1 Copy of "Democracy in America" by Alexis de Tocqueville
1 Copy of "A Hymn Before Battle" by John Ringo
1 Copy of "Without Remorse" by Tom Clancy

And I’m going to go out to the local used book store in the next few days to find some more stuff along similar lines. Will you join me? Let’s make sure that solid, entertaining, and patriotic material can reach our fighting men and women.
