From a Marine officer on the Iraqi warfront with Jihadistan...
(This is an open letter to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, "Islamic Response," and the rest of the so-called al-Qa'ida "insurgents" in Iraq and elsewhere. We don't have an e-mail address for these swine -- though we are closing in on their snail-mail address, but we are forwarding this letter to Federalist Patriots around the world in the hope you good people will forward it to as many other Patriots as possible to rally prayer and support for our fellow Marine, Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun. Should these al-Qa'ida pigs spill his blood, we want them to rest assured that the contents of this letter will eventually be nailed to their foreheads. Thank you for your assistance.)
To al-Qa'ida terrorists in Iraq:
I see that you have captured a U.S. Marine, and that you plan to cut off his head if your demands are not met. Big mistake. Before you carry out your threat I suggest you read up on Marine Corps history. The Japanese tried the same thing on Makin Island and in a few other places during World War Two, and came to regret it. Go ahead and read about what then happened to the mighty Imperial Army on Tarawa, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. They paid full price for what they did, and you will too.
You look at America and you see a soft target, and to a large extent you are right. Our country is filled with a lot of spoiled children who drive BMWs, sip decaf lattes and watch ridiculous reality TV shows. They are for the most part decent, hard working citizens, but they are soft. When you cut off Nick Berg's head those people gasped, and you got the media coverage you sought, and then those people went back to their lives. This time it is different. We also have a warrior culture in this country, and they are called Marines. It is a brotherhood forged in the fire of many wars, and the bond between us is stronger than blood. While it is true that this country has produced nitwits like John Kerry, Michael Moore, Howard Dean and Jane Fonda who can be easily manipulated by your gruesome tactics, we have also produced men like Jason Dunham, Brian Chontosh and Joseph Perez. If you don't recognize those names you should. They are all Marines who distinguished themselves fighting to liberate Iraq, and there will be many more just like them coming for you.
Before the current politically correct climate enveloped our culture one of the recruiting slogans of our band of brothers was "The Marine Corps Builds Men." You will soon find out just how true that is. You, on the other hand, are nothing but a bunch of women. If you were men you would show your faces, and take us on in a fair fight. Instead, you are cowards who hide behind masks and decapitate helpless victims. If you truly represented the interest of the Iraqi people you would not be ambushing those who come to your country to repair your power plants, or sabotage the oil pipelines which fuel the Iraqi economy. Your agenda is hate, plain and simple.
When you raise that sword over your head I want you to remember one thing. Corporal Wassef Ali Hassoun is not alone as he kneels before you. Every Marine who has ever worn the uniform is there with him, and when you strike him you are striking all of us. If you think the Marines were tough on you when they were cleaning out Fallujah a few weeks ago you haven't seen anything yet. If you want to know what it feels like to have the Wrath of God called down upon you then go ahead and do it. We are not Turkish truck drivers, or Pakistani laborers, or independent contractors hoping to find work in your country. We are the United States Marines, and we will be coming for you.
SEMPER FI!!!!!!!
God bless the United States Marines and our prayers go out for Corporal Hassoun.
OOORAH
Unfortunatly PC is rampent in the US Army... I have NCOs who are so afraid of the soldiers going to the IG, they are reluctant to bring things to my attention, and it is increasingly rare to see NCOs and officers stand up and correct soldiers.
I've had a rough week...two domestic violence issues, drug use among soldiers, and a soldier willfully disobeying EVRY order and restriction given... and then lying about it to ME when I have the ENTIRE NCO CoC with him, in front of my desk.... I wish the PC IG REMF mentality would just get out of the way and let the Army combat arms leadership re-instill the warrior ethos (that the USMC displays daily) back into our soldiers.
/too much stress in dealing with BS this week vent off>
God Bless the USMC! Those brave Marines are the finest this country has to offer, and we should all be proud of them.
bttt
Thanks for serving our country. I'll add you to my prayers, OK?
God bless you!!!
Unfortunately, my Navy son has been shaking his head at some of the tales coming out of boot camp these days. Push-ups are considered an un-fair punishment and are now limited to some wimps' more ideal number. I really thought (hoped) this was simply the rumor mill gone wild, but apparently it is true.
My niece is in the Army Reserve in Kuwait and complains about the constant whining of her troops -- says she tells them "you're mother must be so proud to have raised such a crybaby -- SUCK IT UP!"
I really like her attitude and the attitude of the Marine who wrote this letter.
And BTW -- thank you for your service to our country. God Bless You and keep you safe.
Semper Fi! Indeed.
That pretty much sums up the Marines I know.
Executing this Marine will be a very large mistake on their part.
Then Again, They are not really that smart to begin with are they?
Regards,
Joe
Uh..is this a Muslim Corporal?
Once a Marine. Always a Marine.
There is something suspicious about the missing marine but it doesn't matter to the marines. He's one of them.
And America's citizens are behind them. Go, go, go!
We know that it is the hits that count... So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!
Semper Fi, Bump
You should have gone MI instead. The enlisted ranks are chock full of politically incorrect renegades like me. Your present life would seem simple in comparison. How do you handle a bunch of lower enlisted who are working on their MS or PhDs and joined simply for cheap thrills?
How would you feel if your Brigade Commander was doing the skip echelon from Hell and directly tasking one of your platoons (one with an insane E6 filling in as Platoon Leader) and telling you to go sign some papers and don't ask questions?
Been there. Done that. The t-shirt got lost in distro.
I think they've heard this message now. Let's see what the slime do with the info.
I Know.. Tough all over. I had a BDE CDR who was an only child...and fit the steriotype to the extreme!
Push-ups "un-fair"!?!?! Yep, the PC infiltration was definatly the 1st strike in this war... No other explaination, except mass insanity.
It doesn't mean a thing until it's delivered to him in person.
He's of Lebanese extraction. I don't know his religion.
Whether he is Muslim or not is irrelevant.
He's a United States Marine and those pigs wnat to kill him because he's an American.
That's enough for me.
My prayers for this brave soldier and I hope this message does get "nailed to the foreheads" of every one of those slimy scum over there who brutalize helpless hostages.
God bless the Marines and God bless America.
