Subject: FW: Letter to John Kerry from a Sergeant in Iraq

Soldiers are murdering rapists according to John Kerry
This is something that should be all over the media!!!!!
{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.
