In response to the people who were critical of The Post’s front page showing an American soldier smoking a cigarette (“Fighting for Freedom: Smokin’ in Fallujah,” Letters, Nov. 11): While I in no way encourage the promotion of smoking, we are talking about a U.S soldier in combat risking his life for all of us.
If having a cigarette even remotely made him feel a little better, then who are you to be bothered by this?
This is a war, not an opportunity for you to make a public service announcement.

That great photo of one of our tough Marines smoking a cigarette must have infuriated chief New York City nanny Michael Bloomberg.
The anti-smoking crowd can’t sleep at night worrying that somewhere someone might be relaxing and enjoying themselves and having a smoke — even in Fallujah.

I, along with many readers, was very moved by the photo of the Marine.
My son is leaving for a tour in Iraq, giving the soldiers over there now a welcome break.
The Post is where I find the best coverage of the war in Iraq.
