What a short sighted and silly waste of editorial space. Mr. Elliott can only be attempting to initiate controversy and a response, endeavoring  to liven up the often mundane Letters Page. Either that, or he was educated in Southern California to the age of 12 and has been coasting along ever since on socialist twitter for his brilliant understanding of World culture and the American Way. Dare I suggest that a good dose of voting against the embedded socialist political agenda, of supporting any stray dog that holds out a paw and stop awarding attendance trophies to any non achiever, will be a good start for the answer he seeks. His appalling disrespect for our nations courageous warriors then and now, is merely ignorance and for this I suggest he starts checking current affairs in Venezuela, North Korea, Somalia, Sweden and the plenty of socialist driven nations waking to the virtue of protecting cultural stability and pursuing the philosophy working to eat.
