Dear Terrorists, I am a Naval Aviator
via email from a friend | unknown | unknown


Posted on 03/06/2003 6:48 AM EST by libertylover


Dear Terrorists, I am a Naval Aviator.

I was born and raised in a small town in New England. I come from a family of five. I was raised in a middle class home and taught my values by my mother and father. My dad worked a series of jobs in finance and my Mom took care of us kids. We were not an overly religious family but attended church most Sundays. It was a nice small Episcopal Church. I have a brother and sister and I am the youngest in my family. I was the first in many generations to attend college.

I have flown Naval aircraft for 16 years. For me the flying was never a lifelong dream or a "calling," it just happened. I needed a job and I liked the challenge. I continue to do it today because I feel it is important to give back to a nation which has given so much to me. I do it because although I will never be rich, my family will be comfortable. I do it because many of my friends have left for the airlines and someone has to do it.

My government has spent millions to train me to fly these multimillion dollar aircraft. I make about 70,000 dollars a year and after 20 years will be offered a pension.

I like baseball but think the players make too much money. I am in awe of firemen and policemen and what they do each day for my community, and like teachers, they just don't get paid enough.

I respect my elders and always use sir or ma'am when addressing a stranger. I'm not sure about kids these days but I think that's normal for every generation.

I voted for George Bush not for his IQ but because I like him. I think I made a pretty good choice.

I tell you all this because when I come for you, I want you to know me. I won't be hiding behind a woman or a child. I won't be disguised or pretending to be something I am not. I! will be in a US issue flight suit. I will be wearing standard US issue flight gear, and I will be flying a navy aircraft clearly marked as a US warplane.

I wish we could meet up close in a small room where I could wrap my hands around your throat and slowly squeeze the life out of you but; unfortunately, you're hiding in a hole in the ground so we will have to do this a different way.

I want you to know also that I am very good at what I do. I can put a 2,000LB weapon through a window from 10,000 feet up. I generally only fly at night so you may want to start sleeping during the day. I am not eager to die for my country but I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect it from animals like you.

I will do everything in my power to ensure no civilians are hurt as I take aim at you.

My countrymen are a forgiving bunch. Many are already forgetting what you did on Sept 11th. But I will not forget, and my President will not forget.

I am coming. I hope you know me a little bit better, see you soon . . .sleep tight.

Signed..... a US Navy Pilot

Yes. Kathy left the mop buckets out so we could clean up this morning, and I sprayed air freshener! Someone's got to haul out the trash though.

Today's FEEBLE attempt at humor:

A friend hosted a dinner party for people from work and
everyone was encouraged to bring their children. All
during the sit-down dinner one co-worker's three-year-old
girl stared at the man sitting across from her. The girl
could hardly eat her food from staring.

The man checked his tie, felt his face for food, patted
his hair in place, but nothing stopped her from staring
at him. He tried his best to just ignore her but finally
it was too much for him. He asked her,
"Why are you staring at me?"

Everyone at the table had noticed her behavior and the
table went quiet for her response.

The little girl said,
"I just want to see how you drink like a fish!"
