President Harry S. Truman once said: “The fundamental basis of this nation’s laws was given to Moses on the Mount. If we don’t have a proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government, which does not believe in rights for anybody except the State.” The current administration has taken great strides to fulfill this forethought, as it abandons feeding hot meals to our Marines in Afghanistan while supplying the Internal Revenue Service with millions of dollars in party favors for conferences (“Marines stand back as Afghans take lead,” Web, May 30).

To think that a nation so conceived in liberty for all could stoop to so much injustice for some. Feed your Marines, Mr. President.
