Interesting letter I received..
A USMC Sergeant's response to Senator Kerry
Yesterday John Kerry said, "You know education, if you make the most of
it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart,
you can do well, and if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq.
So I wrote him a letter:
I am a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. I am currently on my
second tour in Iraq, a tour in which I volunteered for. I speak Arabic and
Spanish and I plan to tackle Persian Farsi soon. I have a Bachelors and an
Associates Degree and between deployments I am pursuing an M.B.A. In
college I was a member of several academic honor societies, including the Golden Key Honor
Society. I am not unique among the enlisted troops. Many of my enlisted
colleagues include lawyers, teachers, mechanics, engineers, musicians and
artists,just to name a few. You say that your comments were directed towards the
President and not us. If we were stupid Senator Kerry, we might have
believed you.
I am not a victim of President Bush. I proudly serve him because he is my
Commander and Chief. If it was you who was President, I would serve you
just as faithfully I serve America Senator Kerry, and I am also providing a
service to the good people of Iraq. I have not terrorized them in the middle of
the night, raped them or murdered them as you have accused me of before. I am
doing my part to help them rebuild. My role is a simple one, but
important. You see Senator Kerry, like it or not, we came here and removed a tyrant (who
terrorized Iraqis in the middle of the night, and raped them and murdered
them). And we have a responsibility to see to it that another one doesn't take
his place.
The people of Iraq are recovering from an abusive relationship with
a terrible government and it is going to take some time to help them
recover from that. We cannot treat this conflict like a microwave dinner and
throw a temper tantrum because we feel like it's taking too long.
Senator Kerry, you don't have to agree with this war. You don"t have
to say nice things about those of us who choose to make sacrifices for the rights
of every American rather than sit back and simply feel entitled to it. But
please, Senator Kerry, if you are going to call me a stupid, murdering
rapist, stick by what you say. Don't tell me that I misunderstood or that you
would never insult a veteran because you're one too Having been there and done that
does not give you a free pass to insult me.
My suggestion for you, Senator Kerry, is to remember that your speeches
are recorded, and broadcast to us simpletons over here. You may want to write
down what you want to say before you say it, maybe have somebody look at
it before you say it and tell you what others might hear. Remember that we
can't read your mind, if there are any misinterpretations in what you say,
it's because you didn't communicate clearly.
Good luck to you Senator Kerry, if nothing else it's always entertaining
to watch you try and climb out of the holes that you constantly dig for
yourself
Sincerely,
Somebody who is watching his daughter grow up in photographs, so that you
can have the right to say whatever you want about him.
