For one thing, if any US military officer were this illiterate and unable to express himself in writing, he wouldn’t be put in charge of latrine maintenance. And show me a single American soldier who would every start an email “Top of the day to you.” Maybe he’s been spending too much exchange time with the Brits in Basra. Are there really people gullible enough to fall for these scams (of which I receive at least a dozen per day)?
