Sgt. Mom over at the Daily Brief has posted a memo to all those nattering nabobs out there who have been carping over the “Marlboro Marine“.

Re: Certain Realities
1. It has come to my attention that a fair number of people have come unglued over the widely published photo of a young Marine in Fallujah, smoking a cigarette in a manner that would do Bill Mauldin’s Willy and Joe proud, and have written scandalized letters to the editors of their local papers expounding at length on how this is not a Nice Thing to Publish, not where the young and impressionable can see it.
As always, read the whole thing.
