A Marine Responds to John Kerry>

>
>This is a very well written letter I found from a Marine wife written by
>her husband... the end the Sincerely part got to me the most!!!
>
>God Bless our troops
>
>************************************************* ***
>{This was written by my husband, Aaron, who is currently deployed to
>Iraq, in defense of a recent comment made by Senator John Kerry. Pass it
>along, it might inspire someone else to speak up! ~ Michelle}
>
>
>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's going to take some time to help them
>recover from that. We can't 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're 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.

Crap- King is doing what he deems is right. He has let us all have our say. Besides he has a big football game coming up. Wake Forest is playing Virginia Tech..at home...I got my money on WF...he needs a break....:D

It will stay up until it becomes a mud slinging and people start talking about folks instead of the issues

They still keep going..went through them seminoles with no problems...the Hokies will be a more of challenge as I think Va Tech is beeter coached team at this point...I think Bowden has definitely lost his edge

I hear a few calling for the axe to fall on him.

but isn't asking someone why they misrepresented the truth (When they said they knew the truth but didn't post it) about who wrote the pledge talking about the issues? Or do we want to just let people keep making statements that aren't true?

[crap-king]

not talking about articles posted here but when posters start calling folks names and slinging mud we are not talking about issues anymore

Crap-king, I have NEVER called anyone on here anything and I have talked about the issues but my post sure seem to get deleted regularly.
I understand that everyone has different opinions and I respect that. All I am asking for is to not get deleted when there has been NO personal attacks and I have stuck to the topic.
