Here is a forwarded message from a US Marine to Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi...please forward on, it'll eventually get there.
This letter is for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, “Islamic Response,” and the rest
of the so-called “insurgents” in Iraq. I obviously do not have an e-mail
address for these vermin, so I am forwarding this letter to my entire
address book in the hope you good people will forward it to as many people
as possible, and that eventually through the miracle of the internet it
somehow ends up in the hands of the intended recipients. Thank you all for
your assistance.
This is from my good friend and fellow 3/4 vet. It sums up my feelings as
well.
To the terrorists currently operating 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 people 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 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.
