From a Harrier pilot, USMC. Harsh, but I think this needs to be passed on.
Dear American's, When I opened my e-mail this morning I had about twenty
forwards of the article written by Gordon Sinclair, the Canadian who so
eloquently praised the United States. What most of you do not realize is
that this commentary was written many years ago.
Those of us in the Military Service have known about it for a long time.
Now, Americans are flooding the net with it as if it were new.
It is not.
When it was written most Americans didn't read it, because most Americans
did not care. The tragedy that befell all of us on September 11th shocked
America. America no longer feels safe. Many of you have said, "The
government should have known! 30 Billion Dollars is spent on intelligence!
What about the Military!?"
Just a reminder America, you voted our government into office. For years you
allowed some dishonest politicians and twisted television media
personalities to shape your ideas about the defense of our nation.
Why?
Because most Americans were too lazy to look beyond the three minute
sound-bites on the evening news.
Here's a news flash not being broadcast much, "On September 11th, America
had the exact level of protection, both militarily and intelligence, that it
was willing to pay for". Only yesterday the Congress and the Senate approved
40 BILLION dollars as a "Down Payment" to fight this War.
A short time ago, our politicians said a 100 Million dollar increase for the
Navy budget was substantial.
In that same bill they ordered the Navy to conduct an 85 Million Dollar
Study on...guess what America!?
Missiles Defense?!
No.
Desperately needed parts for our fighter aircraft?
Wrong again.
Training for Navy Seals?
Nah uh.
They wanted Breast Cancer research.
Yes, America, your elected officials decided that the US Navy needed more
mammograms and less missiles. Was this an under the table sneaky move? No,
it was right out in the open. The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of
the Navy both opposed it. A New York Senatorial Candidate (Yes, she's the
one) was enraged that the Military would be so sexist and irresponsible to
the needs of civilians and wanted the Navy to give the money back
immediately! But the media paid it little mind. So, America paid little
attention.
Did any one ever watch CSPAN? Particularly when the Heads of our Armed
Services essentially begged OUR representatives to give the Military more
money to fight terrorism and maintain a strong defense? Did you see the
debates by the Heads of the Intelligence Services that terrorism was the new
threat? They told the committees of Congress that the CIA, the FBI, and the
Service did not have the money to build the necessary intelligence networks
in the areas where terrorists were being harbored. They warned again and
again that there was clear and present danger within America's borders.
America must have been watching one of the other 114 satellite channels.
The Military said: "We need more money to maintain military readiness and
Combat Training."
America Answered : "What the Military needs is Sensitivity Training! You're
all sexist homophobes! I saw it on 60 Minutes!"
The Military said: "We need money to build ships, planes, tanks, and improve
our technology. America still has credible threats throughout the world.
Terrorism will come to America's doorstep."
America Answered: "You're all part of a vast right-wing conspiracy. There is
no more Soviet Threat! My Senator told me so! He/She says we do not need
such a big military! You're dinosaurs trying to hold onto the Cold War! We
need Social Programs!"
The Military said: "We need to recruit more Americans into the military. We
need to increase our force."
America Answered: "You're not taking my kids! We're going to shut down the
ROTC programs at our high schools and universities, because you discriminate
against alternative lifestyles! ROTC teaches CHILDREN (under 21) how to
shoot guns! You just want another Columbine! Rosie and Oprah say so!"
The Military said: "We can't keep interfering in the civil wars of small
insignificant countries. It wastes our time, expends our resources,
decreases training, and demoralizes our troops. The men and women of the
United States are Warriors trying to defend OUR nation, we are not the third
world's police force."
America Answered: "You heartless bastards! Can't you see the tear in the eye
of that starving child!! There are flies on her face for Christ's Sake!? Get
Moving! Jesse Jackson on CNN said that is what we pay you for!"
The Military Asked: "Why isn't America enraged over the terrorist attack on
the USS COLE that killed seventeen AMERICAN Sailors? How about the Air Force
barracks bombed in Saudi Arabia? The embassy staffs in Africa? The Soldiers
mutilated and dragged through the streets in Somalia?"
America Answered: "We don't have time right now! We're busy defending Animal
Rights! Our schools are handing out automatic weapons! The federal
government is discriminating against cross-dressing Bolivian hermaphrodites!
The police are all members of the Ku Klux Klan! The lack of Ozone is ruining
my tan! If they cut deeper into Food Stamps those poor women will have to
move down to Size 18/20 Channel dresses! AND THE WORST! Corporations are
raising the prices of there products sooo high I might not be able to afford
the multi-disc DVD Player for my 36'" digital ready TV! Besides, YOU GUYS
ARE PAID TO DIE!
So, America, while you sit on your couch or around your office coffee pots
and ask, "Why did those terrorists kill innocent civilians? Why didn't they
go after the Military?"
Remember this America:
They already had but America didn't care.
These Terrorists realized that they needed to kill American Civilians, and
lots of them, before they could have their desired reaction from the people
of this country. Well, now they have it.
Well, now they have it.

That's the most truthful thing I have read in a long time. Who would have guessed 30 years ago that something like this could happen in America, everyone has sat on their fat butts pursueing women,drugs,drinks and a good time and now we are all shocked that this has happened. I can't quote John Kennedy but he tried to warn us while he was in office, and was murdered for his efforts. Now is the time for pay-back!

preaching to the choir...
to be honest though, how many folks do you know that believe all the oprah/odonnell;touchy-feely;we are the world/new world order $hit? not many real americans do.
its all a front for the "new colonialism", disguised as a front for world peace. it sounds good to the bankers and it sounds good to the idealists on the talking head shows, and unfortunately they are in charge.as far as our govt goes.. they just want to get re-elected,so it sounds good to them too.
