I feel obligated to tell you that, with your treatment of the American soldiers your people ambushed over the weekend, you have stepped on your crank with spiked combat boots this time! I am a retired American Marine and we of the Marine Corps have a very long institutional memory. We have dealt with your like in many past wars. We dealt with the dishonorable Japanese who beheaded some 18 captured Marines after a raid on Makin Atoll in the very early years of World War II. We dealt with the dishonorable North Koreans and Communist Chinese at such places as the Chosin Reservior during the Korean conflict. In Vietnam, which was my first war, we dealt with the Viet Cong who had an unfortunate tendency to torture and maim unfortunate young Marines who got captured outside the wire. They did this to provide "entertainment" for the rest of the Marines in a particular area. The purpose of all of these dishonorable behaviors was to attempt to intimidate and frighten the Marines into giving up and going home. Your treatment of our brothers and sisters in arms was undoubtedly an attempt to do the same thing. I have seen the video that was made by your people and I can assure you of one thing that is as certain as the sunrise in the morning: your mutilation and murder of wounded prisoners is going to have an effect the likes of which you never dreamed... Atrocities such as what you just committed do not EVER scare us off... they PISS us off. And rest assured you have pissed off about 50,000 Marines in-theatre and millions more in the United States, both active, former and retired. Not to mention that you have pissed off the whole American Army, Navy and Air Force. Plus our allies in-country.
You are fortunate that one of our finest snipers, retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, passed away recently. Had he not died, I would be willing to wager a million US Dollars that he would have been on the first transport out of this country and you would already be taking that long dirt nap. However, be assured that we have many in my Marine Corps who are his equal in skill, if not yet experience. I would even be willing to wager that some of them will be dipping their rounds in pig fat before they pop a cap on your sorry ass and on those directly involved in that atrocity. If you want to harm MY fellow warriors in that despicable manner, be advised that there is a price to pay and we, Saddam, old sod, are going to collect it. You made the not uncommon mistake of thinking that we would be scared off by your tactics, as your own people have been for far too long. Rest assured that this is far from the case. Also know that there are many of us who are now retired, a bit paunchy (not unlike your ugly ass) and out of shape, but who would prove more than a match for ANY of the sorry bastards whose only "military" experience has been to run roughshod over helpless civilians and pre-teenaged "martyrs" from Iran or the "army" fielded by Kuwait. You want to mess with someone who's been down that road, we Vietnam and even Korean war veterans will be most happy to oblige you.
Very truly but far from YOURS,
DC Wright SSgt USMC Retired
The Islamofascists have made the soon to be fatal mistake of taking Americans for wimps. They will soon learn.
That post is going to leave a mark... ;-)
