Regarding all of these anti-war protestors. They do not have a clue what is coming.
People,
I recently received the chain e-mail below. Though I am fairly certain the individuals propagating this are well-intentioned, so was an individual named Nevel Chamberlin, who also believed in "peace in our time." Nevel looked at Hitler as a man who could be reasoned with. Nevel never even began to see the true evil of Hitler's plans. Within a decade of Chamberlin's policy of appeasement, over 6,000,000 Jews and other "unclean" people had been put to death by the Nazi regime. Ironically, Chamberlin had no idea that Hitler would use gas on his victims. However, this time, we are dealing with a mad man, who not only rules by terror and tyranny, but he has in fact used chemical gas on both his enemies (the Iranians) and his own people (the Kurds).
So, as you yellow-bellied self-sanctified liberals type away on your computers in reasonable safety, remember that it wouldn't take much for a "dirty bomb" or other chemical disbursement delivery device to be set off in the parking lot of a major sporting event or other large crowd gathering. If you think what happened with the twin towers has horrific, then wait until you hear the horrendous cries of innocent people suffering from nerve gas exposure. Wait until you see the results of human skin coming in contact with blister agents. Wait until terrorists start blowing themselves up on American soil. Most of this will probably be captured by our faithful media in full living (so to speak) color. Maybe, just maybe, you will understand that there are times when war is justified.
There is an old saying that “those who do not study history are doomed to repeat its mistakes.” If you have never heard, or understood, the story of Nevel Chamberlin and Adolph Hitler, I urge you to search the internet and do some investigating. The situation unfolding today is very similar to what happened so many years ago. However, this time we are much more prepared to deal effectively with the threat.
On a personal note, as a veteran with over 18 years of military service, I can’t say that I am eager to see people die. Military people always prepare for war and pray for peace. That said, if I am called, I will answer. I have taken an oath, a sacred vow to defend my country against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Most of you, who have never had the honor to serve your country will never fully understand this concept. Again, I hope that you can continue to live your lives in relative peace and security. In the mean time, you can take all your petty little war protests and shove them where the sun doesn’t shine! Go join the French for all I care. They have been stomped twice by evil forces. And twice we have had to save their buts. I really wouldn’t mind seeing them get trashed again just to snap them out of their arrogance. At the very least, maybe they should tour the graves of the thousands of Americans who gave their lives to liberate that country.
If military action is taken, I don’t expect to see “thousands of Americans coming back in body bags” as Sadam Hussein has threatened. I expect that you will see the surgical precision of the previous Gulf War, with many improvements (as we have had over a decade to improve our technology). We are not going after civilians (like Sadam Hussein has), we are going to neutralize his fighting capability… by whatever means it takes. Get a clue, get a life! Study history and learn something. I will leave you with the words of our last 5-star general, Douglas MacArthur… "For history teaches with unmistakable emphasis that appeasement but begets new and bloodier war. It points to no single instance where the end has justified that means-where appeasement has led to more than a sham peace. Like blackmail, it lays the basis for new and successively greater demands, until, as in blackmail, violence becomes the only alternative." - General of the Army, Douglas MacArthur >
