Letter: One man's plan

Editor, Daily News:

"I want to draw attention to the heroism, courage and great work of our soldiers on the front line. Every day, they are risking their lives to defend our freedom." — Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn.

My plan to solve this dilemma: All politicians, members of the administration, excluding the president, but including the vice president, secretary of defense, secretary of state and their administrative assistants favoring the continuation of the war will voluntarily enlist in the Marines or Army, 1st Infantry Division, as grunts (for those of you who do not know, grunts are the ones who carry the war to the enemy) to solve this problem on a firsthand basis in Iraq.

After a reasonable basic training, one that all of them can complete considering their age, ship all of them to the current hot spot in Iraq, be it anywhere except the Green Zone.

Now include, all on a voluntary basis, all American citizens who feel we should stay the course regardless of their age.

Let's make a list to be published for all to see who among the above groups will place themselves in harm's way to support their position.
