Dear John Doe, We're sorry for your loss ...

Well this is depressing. Apparently offering condolences to the families of fallen soldiers has become so rote that it results in printing errors that mistakenly addressed more than 7,000 letters as "John Doe." I once wrote (can't find the link now) before about how Spencer's reprinting of DoD press releases was becoming so frequent it was becoming mundane -- a disturbing product of war. I guess even the army finds condolences mundane.
