Sniper's Reply to the Ass Munch

No one here knows me, my name, beliefs, or views. I am the anonymous sailor, airman, soldier, or Marine. I can sit here and hide who I am or what I am about because of the worlds greatest technologies. But I wont do that. I wont hide!!! I am proud to be who I am. Some of you will know me as "Sniper" A little about me. I don't email much, I hate the phone, and I don't even understand the blogging world. I feel more like the "twas the night before Christmas.....Marine story". I am writing to you all not to debate or argue. Not even for a thank you. I am writing this because my special someone has talked on my behalf here and has seemed to get some "freedom of speech" replies! Many can say they don't like the war. I can understand that. Although "I am an American fighting for my country and our way of life." (the Code of Conduct....read it!!) When at war lives are lost and the only way we (selfish Americans....yes WE are selfish as a whole) can sit on our couches drinking a Latte and deal with it is to find a fault. Why us? Who do we think we are? What are we to gain from this? How many of us need to die? Well to answer that let me start with a little history. Now I only have a PHD (Plain High school Diploma), but I will do my best and here it goes. Over 230 years ago men and believe it or not women stood up against a tyrant (King of England) and said NO MORE. I will fight to my death to bring sovereignty to this land and not be oppressed for the crown any longer!! Many died. Was the decision blessed by all? NO. However, years later our great country won and then it began. Our lands have seen wars fought on every side but the men and women whom chose to defend it stood fast and strong. The battle for the Alamo shows just how much the few of us were and are ready to do for the many. Fast forwarding to present day our country stood here tall and proud and was attacked. Not our military, but our civilians. The ones that we, who did sign on the line, stood to protect. I remember that day. More vividly than many who will try to say they "understand". I was so very grateful that the elections were over and I will say "WE HAVE A COWBOY IN OFFICE!" President Bush is said not to be a very smart man.....well I would follow his orders to hell to see what it looked like and report back. He may not be a lot of things, but for anyone to think he does not care about us, the troops or this country, has to be an idiot. Briefly on WMD!!! Did we find them???? Well lets do the math, shall we. Saddam had just how many years to move and hide those damn things? When he did not let US inspectors in.....what was he doing???? When the UN in 1997 (I believe it was 97) thought they were close what happened??? Again, yes I said again, he threw the inspectors out of his country. What did the UN do whenever he did this? When ever he impeded the inspectors at all??? NOTHING!! And what did our President at the time do????? NOTHING (ok, got a blow job in the oval office)!!!! And for those who only listen to the media....well I was there when an IED (improvised explosive device) blew up and had sarin gas on board!! (Yes there are WMD's!!!) For those of you who want to jump on the "We're There For Oil" band wagon let me say this. If that were true, why are we paying so much? Since WE CONTROL THE OIL NOW?????? It is not ours, we did not TAKE IT, nor do we control it. We secured the fields for the IRAQI'S. Now does that mean we won't benefit from it? No I am sure we will, or should I say you will since I will be over there again.... I stand here ready to do my duty for all of you. Even that young man who has decided to include Dyz into his propaganda. And all I can say is this. I support you Sir. What you do, what you believe in, and even what you say! I may not like it or agree with it, but not matter what I will lock and load my weapon to defend you and it! I will continue to live with the emotional and physiological torments that I have now just so you and your kink will have a platform to do and say what you want! I just ask this. Direct you negativity to blogs or groups that are less personal. What I mean is that there is no reason for anyone to attack a specific person. Is there? Do you have to punch her in the chest to get your point across about the war??? I hope not....this UNITED STATES MARINE will not stand for that! What I do and the choices I have made are my own. For my own reasons, most of which the many will never understand. I don't need nor ask for your thanks or admiration. I am just a man who loves his country, countrymen and women, and believe that everyone deserves basic human rights. All that I can ask are a few basic things. If you are not sure how great this country is, then the next time you are at the store think: 1) Pepsi or Coke? 2) Dove or Ivory? 3) skim, 2%, or whole 4) 2ply or 3ply Charmen (I like the 3ply myself) (Your welcome for the choices that we give you on a daily basis) Now for those of you who are still reading this and have something else to say negatively to my Girlfriend (will be fiance and soon enough, if God grants me, will be Mrs. Sniper) in regards to me, let me ask you this...... Have you ever been souly responsible for another? How about 100 or more? Have you ever held a dying man in your arms that you were in charge of? Have you ever had 14 of your buddies hurt when you told them to do a job? Have you ever been faced with a child holding a weapon trying to kill you? Have you ever had to inventory your buddies gear to send home to his family? Have you ever had to make the choice of their lives or yours? Have you ever been blood drenched on battlefield and could not take the time for yourself because you were LEADING THE WAY???? Have you ever been bleeding profusely and then have someone tell you that you were going to die? Have you ever had one of your buddies put into a body bag and you flew them to safety so they could go home???? There are many things you have not to do. And I don't wish these on anyone, to include you. Those of us who choose this way of life do if for many reasons. And if you look it up, it is all on line (E-6 over 14), it is not for the money. We are Patriot who believe in our cause. As many did 230 years ago! No one ever said war (or combat for that matter) was ever easy. It takes a brave few to do what they do, to stand up and answer the call of duty for their country. Not every one can handle that job, I'll give you that. Most people would rather sit in their comfy chair, in their fancy house and arm chair quarterback everything. Am I asking for you to do what I do? NO!! But I do ask for your support and your attempt to understand. My middle child said the most "on point" things to me after I just told him I was going back to "catch the bad guys". He said, "Daddy, I am going to make a sign for the front yard." And I said "Buddy (that is what I call him) what is it going to say?" He replied: "You don't have to support the war to support my Daddy!" He is only 10 years old and loves me, doesn't want me hurt, but supports me. And on the other hand is already dealing with the likes of you who just want to bad mouth me and my "kind". That is sad....But my 10 year old is strong enough to stand up for what he believes it.....the apple does not fall far from the tree. So what I really came on here to say was this: Dyz, my love, I am sorry for all that has come your way with this. You are getting that backlash for me and my choices. I am sorry that because of the man I am you are having to deal with this type of shit. And for that I apologize to you, my love. Thank you for being you and supporting me in all that I do for all of us. God Bless the USA and all of our troops, everywhere!!!! Sniper To Sniper: to me you will never have to apologize for your choices, I stand proud beside you and support everything you stand for. I love you! Dyzgoneby
