Irate Marine in Ramadi Responds to 'War is Lost' Message (Good News from Iraq)

From PatDollard.com:

This Email To Me, Harry, And America, Direct From A Grunt On The Front Lines Of Ramadi, Is Just Hours Old.

A view from OP Horea, “Most Dangerous Spot On Earth”, Downtown Ramadi. I no shit watched several terrorists die, on several different days, on this small strip of asphalt. We also took many IED strikes on it. This photo is from Corporal Rock.

Today, from Corporal Tyler Rock in an outpost in downtown Ramadi. His first sentence is in response to an email from me:

“yeah i know how you feel. its going to be very weird leaving this place and going back to america. weve been here for almost an entire year and have lived in the center of it the whole time. its crazy that when we got here it was so hectic and now its calmed down so much. so it was awesome to be able to see that turn out.

yeah news worth reporting…. well ramadi was once dubbed by everyone as the worst city in the world. but we have done such a great job here that all the families in the area have worked with us on driving out the insurgency and that we work directly with the IA and the IP’s. the city has been cleaned up so well that the IP’s do most of the patrols now and we go out with them to hand out candy and toys to the children. you can tell that the people want us here to protect them from the thugs and gangs (insurgents). granted they would rather have peace and quit but they know that if we arent here they will be thrown around by the insurgents. a good example is this one mission we did. long story short we got blown up in multiple buildings and had to run into a families house. i spent my christmas holidays covered in ash from the mortar fire and the IED’s, sleeping under a dirty rug i found in the house. everyone was sleeping way to close for comfort just to stay warm. anyways. a family was there and they obviously didnt want us there. atleast at first. the daughters were very sick so our corpsman treated them. they didnt have electricity so we got them a generator for power, they were cold so we got them gas heaters, we got them food and water and then we gave them $500. by the end of the week long visit with them we were drinking tea with them. when we left we cleaned their house better than it was when we got there. i even have pictures with the family. they told us that they liked marines and they would help us as much as they could and they gave us some information on the insurgents in the area. we ended up catching a HUGE target down the road from there house because of it.

yeah and i got a qoute for that douche harry reid. these families need us here. obviously he has never been in iraq. or atleast the area worth seeing. the parts where insurgency is rampant and the buildings are blown to pieces. we need to stay here and help rebuild. if iraq didnt want us here then why do we have IP’s voluntering everyday to rebuild their cities. and working directly with us too. same with the IA’s. it sucks that iraqi’s have more patriotism for a country that has turned to complete shit more than the people in america who drink starbucks everyday. we could leave this place and say we are sorry to the terrorists. and then we could wait for 3,000 more american civilians to die before we say “hey thats not nice” again. and the sad thing is after we WIN this war. people like him will say he was there for us the whole time. and for messages back home. i have a wife back home who is going through a tough time. i just cant wait to be back home and see everyone. haha and i cant wait to go back home and get some starbucks. i love it when those people serve me. hahaha”

Thank you for what you’re doing and the sacrifice you’re making to keep these Al Qaeda primatives at bay. I’m glad you don’t listen to the seditious news here. There are still a lot of patriotic Americans out here who support not just the troops, but your mission. Al Qaeda Harry represents few other than a lunatic fringe. Thanks again and God bless and keep you.

Rock on, SSgt Sheli my HBDB-

I support you and your mission. Please know that there are American patriots back home standing four square behind you.

It’s wonderful men and women like you that make this country strong and beautiful. I can only stand in awe of your efforts to keep us safe and free.

God bless you and keep you safe, sir.

Sincerely - D

P.S. Harry Reid is not fit to douche your boots!

I wish I was 30 years younger. What a great Marine.

(misting up a bit) remembering brother Marines and then (wiping them up and getting p#ssed) thinking about pathetic pussies like Chet Edwards, Pelosi, Reid and Barney Frank stabbing them in the back and encouraging the insurgents to kill more of our guys in order to "weaken" our resolve to fight these sub human POS.

Why cant Hamas and Al-Quiada just frag out the democrat areas of this country. I'd love to see Rosie, the Pelosi bush team, and the drunk kennedy's and the rapists, thieves and murderers in the 'black muslim' community live under Sharia law.

lots of hand chopping, whippings, honor killing and stonings gonna happen.... as a male with a weapon and very willing to use it, I doubt that the muzzies would openly target me or others of the same persuasion. They would have to bomb and poison us like they do to regular dissidents.

[Dick Vomer]

I will now refer to all douches as the great senator from nevada.... Senator “ Vinegar and Water” or Senator “Massengale”. that’s even better. Like calling all homosexuals.a real “John Edwards”....

[Dick Vomer]

ping....lmao.

To late, the terrorist sympathizers here in the US have already damaged our effort, our mission, and our men and women, beyond repair.

They have been doing so since BEFORE we went in, they have moles, spies, and have been actively working with the Islamic cults in Iraq, and with gov worldwide, who want a US defeat.

Just as with Israel for the last 30 years, and most notable last summer with Hezbollah.

And unless we fight back dirty, using their techniques, being ruthless SOBs, it is over for good.

Harry Reid is a loser.

[cookcounty]

"I wish Bush would do a press conference WITH General Petraeus and have him refute the comments made by Benedict Harry!"

White House Deputy Press Secretary Dana Peroni yesterday had a statement that blasted Reid. Dana for Prez.

[cookcounty]

"We need to hear more from the troops like this. My understanding is that most commanders have strict orders against political comments of any kind."

Enlisted men can pretty much say what they want as long as they don't advocate violence.

[cookcounty]

Your state is a RECALL state.

If you can get 25% of the number of actual voters in the last election to sign a recall petition, there will be a RECALL ELECTION in Nevada. The law requires the petition to be less than 200 words long and to specifically name the individual(s) to be recalled.

It would be great if the FIRST NAMES on the petition were from the Nevada Guard.

WHOA!

Thanks! I’ll see what I can do to get that started. Reid won by a very narrow margin, so I think his days as a senator are numbered, anyway.

Of course, he’s just crooked enough to buy his votes next time around, but since we have a large (and growing) number of military retirees, we may just have a chance to get him out of office. If not by recall, then at least by the voting public.

The people I’ve talked to are all angry with him. Too many of them lost loved ones in Viet Nam and have vowed not to let him make this another ‘Nam.

Thanks again for your help!

PS: I’ll see if I can get permission to take the petition to the Nevada Guard. It WOULD be great if their names came first! :o])
