One Marine vs Twenty Protesters

This is a few months old, but I didn't see that it was previously posted......

A REAL READ FROM A REAL MARINE TO SOME REAL PROTESTING SLIMEBALLS.

On Friday we noted that a score of Ohio University students and others had
staged a "die-in" to protest the liberation of Iraq. Today "The Post," the
Ohio University student newspaper, carried a letter from Marc Fencil, a
senior who is also a Marine currently stationed in Iraq, that is so
excellent we reprint it in full:

****************

The Post
Ohio University
8 April 2005



"It's a shame that I'm here in Iraq with the Marines right now and not back
at Ohio University completing my senior year and joining in blissful
ignorance with the enlightened, war-seasoned protesters who participated in
the recent "die-in" at College Gate. It would appear that all the action is
back home, but why don't we make sure? That's right, this is an open
invitation for you to cut your hair, take a shower, get in shape and come on
over! If Michael Moore can shave and lose enough weight to fit into a pair
of camouflage utilities, then he can come too!

Make sure you all say your goodbyes to your loved ones though, because you
won't be seeing them for at least the next nine months. You need to get here
quick because I don't want you to miss a thing. You missed last month's
discovery of a basement full of suicide vests from the former regime (I'm
sure Saddam's henchmen just wore them because they were trendy though). You
weren't here for the opening of a brand new school we built either. You
might also notice women exercising their new freedom of walking to the
market unaccompanied by their husbands.

There is a man here, we just call him al-Zarqawi, but we think he'd be
delighted to sit down and give you some advice on how you can further
disrespect the victims of Sept. 11 and the 1,600 of America's bravest who
have laid down their lives for a safer world. Of course he'll still call you
"infidel" but since you already agree that there is no real evil in the
world, I see no reason for you to be afraid. Besides, didn't you say that
radical Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance?

I'm warning you though ---- it's not going to be all fun and games over
here. You might have bad dreams for the next several nights after you zip
up the body bag over a friend's disfigured face. I know you think that
nothing, even a world free of terror for one's children, is worth dying for,
but bear with me here. We're going to live in conditions you've never dreamt
about. You should get here soon though, because the temperatures are going
to be over 130 degrees very soon and we will be carrying full combat loads
(we're still going to work though). When it's all over, I promise you can go
back to your coffee houses and preach about social justice and peace while
you continue to live outside of reality.

If you decide to decline my offer, then at least you should sleep well
tonight knowing that men wearing black facemasks and carrying AK-47s yelling
"Allahu Akbar" over here are proud of you and are forever indebted to you
for advancing their cause of terror. While you ponder this, I'll get back to
the real "die-in" over here. I don't mind."

    if only the bleeding heart hippies could only understand these points in the midst of their drug induced haze.

    I wish I could shake that young man's hand.

    This is NOT vietnam. Yes soldiers are dying there, just like they did in Vietnam, be we have a mission and a purpose that is clear. We will not tolerate a country that houses terrorists who threaten American lives -- unless they are Americans attending college and exercising their ignorance of youth.

    I will not forget 911 and those that support and supported those that chant "Death to America" Iraq may not have had the WMD or been providing a weekend getaway for Osma, but they did not condemn him either.
