Stick To Acting

Dear Mr. Gandolfini:

“Reinstate the draft,” huh? And “finish it”?

First, try making a legitimate case for invading the sovereignty of another country before a community of nations before you decide to do it anyway. Then, try listening to the generals who actually know what combat is about (re: Gen. Eric Shinseki) when they tell you that they will need many, many more troops than you’re willing to provide for them. And most importantly, try to have a clue about post-invasion planning so our troops and innocent Iraqis aren’t getting blown apart indiscriminately.

This isn’t a situation where you decide to shoot someone in the head or bludgeon them in numerous ways to get what you want (apparently, it is necessary for me to remind you of that).

And as for the draft, if anyone tries to get ahold of the young one to carry out the dirty work of this gang of crooks, it’s possible that I may visit upon them the vengeance you inflict on your enemies on a weekly basis on your TV show.

And by the way, that includes you.
