Like many people, I was very depressed this week as a result of the massive chillul Hashem that was the Million-Man Prayer Rally. Here's a letter that I received from a friend: My son did two years in Yeshiva AND THEN was a lone soldier for 3 years as a sniper, in much danger. Baruch Hashem he came to no physical harm, but having had to kill people very personally (as opposed to dropping bombs) who knows what psychological scars he has.
