A U.S. Marine View of Israeli Warriors

An amazing and extraordinarily telling missive from a U.S. Marine in Iraq. For those who, at this point, don't "get it," this Marine does. Hat tip to the blog, "Atlas Shrugs," where you can find the rest of the commentary here.

Dear Atlas,

I am the Marine that wrote to you about the News Media betraying us.

I just wanted to tell you that we, Marines, SUPPORT Israel in their war against Hamas and Hizbullah. I cannot express to you how many Marines I have talked to or have heard say how proud of Israel they are. I cannot tell you how happy I am that Israel is destroying Hamas and Hizullah. We all CHEER when we watch Lebanon being bombed on TV in the Chow Hall. I hope Israel annihilates Hamas, Hizbullah and Syria. Because the way we see it, that is less Jihadists for us to fight. I can't speak for all Marines, but the Marines that I know and talk to stand by Israel 100%. And I am in the infantry, we are front line Marines. Warriors. We support Israel because we have fought the same people they are fighting, Jihadists. This is a world war. It has been a world war since 11 September 2001. Hopefully now people are realizing the true scale of this conflagration. And Israel is fighting the same enemy in Gaza and Lebanon as America is fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, just on another front in the same war. And we see the Israeli Soldiers as brothers in arms against a common enemy. Myself and the Marines in my unit, Veterans of 2 tours in Iraq, support Israel all the way to victory. And I THANK the State of Israel for their determination, fortitude and vigilance in the destruction of Evil.

God Bless America.

God Bless Israel.

And God Bless all freedom loving people worldwide.

- US Marine and Veteran of the current world war.

PS: Pay attention to Somalia. We are currently losing Somalia to the Jihadists and we are doing nothing about it. Someday we will have to go back Somalia and it will be a bloody mess.

Wonker again. Semper Fi! Note particularly this Marine's PS, which tracks with our general observations. Although I would add that the U.S. military is already stretched thin and is paying more attention to possible deployment in or near Lebanon, Iraq, and North Korea at the moment. Which is why, Rumsfeld critics, we have been so "thin" on the ground in Iraq in the first place. If you take the time to imagine where in the world the U.S. and its interests could come under attack these days, you might tread a little more softly when you criticize this Administration for keeping a lot of military power in reserve.
