I am writing to you as a soldier who participated in the Charge of the Light Brigade. I have returned home, but my comrades did not. Why did you send us to our deaths? Did you not see the futility of the charge? Did you not hear the screams of my brothers as they were cut down?

Why did you not listen to the warnings of those on the ground? Why did you not heed the signs of certain defeat?

My heart is heavy with the loss of my fellow soldiers. I am disappointed and angry at the senseless waste of life. I demand answers for the tragic events that occurred under your command.

Sincerely, A soldier of the Light Brigade.

I just wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your brilliant leadership during the recent battle. The idea to charge straight into the enemy's was truly a genius. I mean, who needs tactics and strategy when you have sheer determination and blind obedience, am I right?

I must say, I was particularly impressed by the way you so expertly sent hundreds of soldiers to their deaths without a second thought. The amount of disregard for human life you displayed was truly admirable. Truly!

And let's not forget the way you confidently rode away from the disaster while the rest of us fought for our lives. That takes real guts, and I have nothing but respect for that kind of cowardice. Maybe you got more important things to attend to? I don’t know, a wedding? a dinner? 

I'm sure the families of the fallen soldiers will take comfort in knowing that their loved ones died for a truly noble cause: your ego.

Thank you again for such an unforgettable experience, I look forward to the next time we get to charge into certain death under your command, perhaps your own? I surely hope not (Or maybe yes, we never know hehehe) 😏

Sincerely,
your soldier
