Read before you judge.


Subject:A Ticked off Marine Wife




Here is a real woman who should run for president!

Written by a Marine housewife in New Jersey to the New York Times, this is one ticked off lady.


"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?


Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?


Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?


And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...Well, I don't. I don't care at all.


I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.


I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia.


I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.


I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq and Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.


I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.


I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.


In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.


When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured:

I don't care.


When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank:

I don't care.


When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts:

I don't care.


And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran."  Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and, you guessed it,

I don't care!!


If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!


If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:


"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem." -- Ronald Reagan


I have another quote that I would like to add AND.......I hope you forward all this.


"If we ever forget that we're One Nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under." Also by... Ronald Reagan


One last thought for the day:


In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America, he said: "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out."


Only four defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ

2. The American G. I.

3. The British Soldier and

4. The Canadian Soldier


One died for your soul, the other 3 for your freedom.


YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET ALL OF THEM.    AMEN!

This is going to be a long haul, to say the least, but in the end good always prevails over bad, however long it takes.

I really like her attitude.

Very nice Ken. By the way how the heck are you my friend? I have not heard from you since Borden. Where are you now? Do you see Dennis Landry around? I heard he was still in Borden. I hope to hear from you. Rick

I am on Vancouver Island in Nanaimo, BC. quite a distance from Borden. I'm still married to Chris almost 40 years now and how the heck are you and yours.

I haven't really been in touch with any of the gang for years now. The Gagetown Agent Orange,White and Purple has been getting me in touch with some but the word or message on what really took place isn't being broadcast yet.

Ken
