Subject: 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.
