It puts and emotional twist on what really is happening. We hear all the political points and discussions but until you hear a soldiers story or view point you really don't understand it. We can also tell from soldiers letters the state of mind of our soldiers. When OEF and OIF first started it was a mentality of "lets do this". Now after a decade of fighting these soldiers are tired and you can see that in their letters. They are more about family, and friends, and how the miss their home. They are more emotional then they might have been years ago.
Gives their views on what is happening in a war etc but they may over-exaggerate or under-exaggerate in order for the person they are writing to not to worry etc.
