DIRECT FROM A BRAVE ANOMINOUS RECON MARINE IN THE FIELD ......  October 1, 2009

NO "SPINS BY  FOX", CNN, NBC....Read the TRUTH

 Letter From a US Recon Marine in Afghanistan
>
> Here is a US Marine who is not afraid to tell it like it is. Political
> correctness doesn't mean beans to this tough young warrior.

> It's freezing here. I'm sitting on hard, cold dirt between rocks and
> shrubs at the base of the Hindu Kush Mountains along the Dar 'yoi Pomir
> River watching a hole that leads to a tunnel that leads to a cave. Stake
> out, my friend, and no pizza delivery for thousands of miles.
>
> I also glance at the area around my butt every ten to fifteen seconds to
> avoid another scorpion sting. I've actually given up battling the chiggers
> and sand fleas, but the scorpions give a jolt like a cattle prod. Hurts
> like a bastard. The antidote tastes like transmission fluid, but God bless
> the Marine Corps for the five vials of it in my pack.
> The one truth the Taliban cannot escape is that, believe it or not, they are
> human beings, which means they have to eat food and drink water. That
> requires couriers, and that's where an old bounty hunter like me comes in
> handy. I track the couriers, locate the tunnel entrances and storage
> facilities, type the info into the hand held, shoot the coordinates up to
> the satellite link that tells the air commanders where to drop the hardware,
> we bash some heads for a while, then I track and record the new movement.
> It's all about intelligence. We haven't even brought in the snipers yet.
> These scurrying rats have no idea what they're in for. We are but days away
> from cutting off supply lines and allowing the eradication to begin. I dream
> of bin Laden waking up to find me standing over him with my boot on his
> throat as I spit into his face and plunge my nickel plated Bowie knife
> through his frontal lobe. But you know me. I'm a romantic.
> I've said it before and I'll say it again: This country blows, man. It's
> not even a country. There are no roads, there's no infrastructure, there's
> no government. This is an inhospitable, rock-pit shit hole ruled by eleventh
> century warring tribes. There are no jobs here like we know jobs.
>
> Afghanistan offers two ways for a man to support his family: join the opium
> trade or join the army. That's it. Those are your options. Oh, I forgot, you
> can also live in a refugee camp and eat plum-sweetened, crushed beetle paste
> and squirt mud like a goose with stomach flu if that's your idea of a party.
> But the smell alone of those 'tent cities of the walking dead' is enough to
> hurl you into the poppy fields to cheerfully scrape bulbs for eighteen hours
> a day.
>
> I've been living with these Tajiks and Uzbeks and Turkmen and even a couple
> of Pushtins for over a month and a half now, and this much I can say for
> sure:
> These guys, all of 'them, are Huns....actual, living Huns. They LIVE to
> fight. It's what they do. It's ALL they do. They have no respect for
> anything, not for their families or for each other or for themselves. They
> claw at one another as a way of life. They play polo with dead calves and
> force their five-year-old sons into human cockfights to defend the family
> honor. Huns, roaming packs of savage, heartless beasts who feed on each
> other's barbarism. Cavemen with AK47's.
> Then again, maybe I'm just cranky. I'm freezing my ass off on this stupid
> hill because my lap warmer is running out of juice and I can't re-charge it
> until the sun comes up in a few hours.
> Oh yeah! You like to write letters, right? Do me a favor, write a letter
> to CNN and tell Wolf and Anderson and that awful, sneering, pompous Aaron
> Brown to stop calling the Taliban 'smart.' They are not smart. I suggest CNN
> invest in a dictionary because the word they are looking for is 'cunning..'
> The Taliban are cunning, like jackals and hyenas and wolverines. They are
> sneaky and ruthless and, when confronted and cowardly. They are hateful,
> malevolent parasites who create nothing and destroy everything else.
> Smart... Pfft. Yeah, they're real smart.
>
> They've spent their entire lives reading only one book (and not a very good
> one, as books go) and consider hygiene and indoor plumbing to be products of
> the devil. They're still figuring out how to work a Bick lighter. Talking to
> a Taliban warrior about improving his quality of life is like trying to
> teach an ape how to hold a pen; eventually he just gets frustrated and
> sticks you in the eye with it.
> OK, enough. Snuffle will be up soon so I have to get back to my hole.
> Covering my tracks in the snow takes a lot of practice but I'm good at it.
> Please, I tell you and my fellow Americans to turn off the TV sets and move
> on with your lives. The story line you are getting from CNN and other news
> agencies is utter bullshit and designed not to deliver truth but rather to
> keep you glued to the screen through the commercials.
> The worst thing you guys can do right now is sit around analyzing what we're
> doing over here because you have no idea what we're doing and, really, you
> don't want to know.
> We've got this one under control. We are your military and we are doing what
> you sent us here to do.
> You want to help? Buy bonds, America .
>
> Saucy Jack - Recon Marine in Afghanistan . Semper-Fi.
>
> "Freedom is not free. but the U.S. Marine Corps will pay most of your
> share."

 D.C. (CISEASES) CORRALINGS(?)

BILLARY "JANE FONDA" CLINTON ... From Shihan says

How about "Hillary Billary's" Nigerian (Jane Fonda of 2009) damming comparison of the "erections" of Nigeria with machete's, guns, beheadings. She was comparing in her own sinister hateful demeanor with the Bush elections of the USA whereas "his (Bush) brother was the Governor of the stalemate state".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Between "BILLARY" and "O'BOMBER" traipsing around the World APOLOGIZING ...... From Shihan says

..for the USA, we are surrounded with what "I" call treason at all levels...

These "Clowns" should also apologize for …..WW2 where we saved all of their butts from Africa, Asia, Europe, Mid East, et. al……………….

And also apologize for setting up the mid-east oil cartels in the early 1900's with a bunch of “bug eating camel jockeys” that had no idea, like duh …..WHATS "OIL“?

………..WE GOT REAL PROBLEMS TROOPS! ……GONNA GET WORSE! ……….BE PREPARED TO STAND UP!

Shihan at Range w/Marine/Life Buddy Don Scornavacca. Jupiter Florida  

Between Seminars, Gary Alexander spent time with his Life-long Friend and Former NY/DC PD Officer Don Scornavacca at the local Shooting Range since it rained for five days, A stop-off at the “Hard Rock” Café was also in order. Don is a Fifth Degree Combat Isshinryu Black Belt.

Since the Federales would have frowned upon a carry of "my" Springfield 45 (left it home for my "Cat"). Besides, in flight against "Gutless Terrorists" it would be an insult to "me"to have to use a gun to take them down.  Combat Boots work very well.

 However, borrowing Don's "Glock" to shoot, re-enforced my original skepticism (as a firearms instructor) - don't like "Glocks"..... they don't shoot straight!!!  Or maybe it's time for Shihan to strap on a Scope w/laser guided bullets (?)

Alas. Now It's gotten to a "Punch Shoot" accuracy at best..... Yuk! "Glock" fans "Don and Ermy". ..... Shihan GA is an 1911-A1 Shooter. Yep!

NOW! "This" is a Gun!
