I'm writing to you from a war zone.
OUR war zone.
Here, this twitterverse, is one of the chosen battlegrounds of our enemy, the Russians.
Make no mistake, you are a soldier now on one of the most important battlegrounds of the 21st century.

Every bot, sock puppet or troll you report, block or mute is a win in this war.
Every story, pic or vid you debunk is a win in this war.
The strategy of our enemies is, to bring democracies down worldwide, making their gov'ts seem more legitimate.

War zones are constant stress. The tension never stops, the threat of action being constant. In this information war the same applies.
The constant outrage, the looking for and stopping bad actors.
I've seen some great resistors falter here.
Sound familiar?

All service members that have experienced this stress know that taking time away from it is invaluable.
Your mind and body can only take so much of this before you stop being sharp.
We all NEED to be sharp, able to pay attention to detail.
We HAVE to win this war.

Two nights ago, I woke from a nightmare of civil unrest and violence. It took me an hour to go back to sleep I was so distressed.
That may not be your experience, stress can have differing affects on people, but remember the stress is REAL.

I KNOW it's hard to step away, I've found myself desperately wanting to return to our little corner of this 'verse these last two days.
But don't worry about leaving us, we'll keep up the fight while you're gone.
And when you come back we'll all be right here,

like good soldiers, taking our rotations into the hot zone, and we'll expect you to tag us out too.
This fight WILL be won, but what use is the victory if you've destroyed yourself along the way?
As always, remember soldier:
We. Are. LEGION.
