Anyone seen this email trash?

Most of the junk I get from friends is quickly debunked with Snopes. I don't even know where to begin with this.

Some powerful thoughts by a Marine Master Sergeant to reflect and
ponder over. This marine really has a handle on our "AMERICA," and the
situation it now finds itself in.
----------------

I sat in a movie theater watching "Schindler's List," asked myself,
"Why didn't the Jews fight back?" Now I know why.

I sat in a movie theater, watching "Pearl Harbor" and asked myself,
"Why weren't we prepared?"

Now I know why.

Civilized people cannot fathom, much less predict, the actions of evil
people.

On September 11, dozens of capable airplane passengers allowed
themselves to be overpowered by a handful of poorly armed terrorists because they did not comprehend the depth of hatred that motivated their captors.

On September 11, thousands of innocent people were murdered because too many Americans naively reject the reality that some nations are dedicated to the dominance of others. Many political pundits, pacifists and media personnel want us to forget the carnage. They say we must focus on the bravery of the rescuers and ignore the cowardice of the killers. They implore us to understand the motivation of the perpetrators. Major television stations have announced they will assist the healing process by not replaying devastating footage of the planes crashing into the Twin Towers.

I will not be manipulated.

I will not pretend to understand.

I will not forget.

I will not forget the liberal media who abused freedom of the press to
kick our country when it was vulnerable and hurting.

I will not forget that CBS anchor Dan Rather preceded President Bush's
address to the nation with the snide remark, "No matter how you feel
about him, he is still our president."

I will not forget that ABC TV anchor Peter Jennings questioned
President Bush's motives for not returning immediately to Washington, DC and commented, "We're all pretty skeptical and cynical about Washington."

And I will not forget that ABC's Mark Halperin warned if reporters
weren't informed of every little detail of this war, they aren't "likely -- nor should they be expected -- to show deference."

I will not isolate myself from my fellow Americans by pretending an
attack on the USS Cole in Yemen was not an attack on the United States of America.

I will not forget the Clinton administration equipped Islamic
terrorists and their supporters with the world's most sophisticated
telecommunications equipment and encryption technology, thereby compromising America's ability to trace terrorist radio, cell phone, land lines, faxes and modem communications.

I will not be appeased with pointless, quick retaliatory strikes like
those perfected by the previous administration.

I will not be comforted by "feel-good, do nothing" regulations like
the silly, "Have your bags been under your control?" question at the
airport.

I will not be influenced by so called,"antiwar demonstrators" who
exploit the right of _expression to chant anti-American obscenities.

I will not forget the moral victory handed the North Vietnamese by
American war protesters who reviled and spat upon the returning soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines.

I will not be softened by the wishful thinking of pacifists who chose
reassurance over reality.

I will embrace the wise words of Prime Minister Tony Blair who told
the Labor Party conference, "They have no moral inhibition on the slaughter of the innocent. If they could have murdered not 7,000 but 70,000, does anyone doubt they would have done so and rejoiced in it?

There is no compromise possible with such people, no meeting of minds,
no point of understanding with such terror. Just a choice: defeat it or be defeated by it. And defeat it we must!"

I will force myself to: -hear the weeping;

-feel the helplessness; -imagine the terror;

-sense the panic ;-smell the burning flesh

- experience the loss; - remember the hatred.

I sat in a movie theater, watching "Private Ryan" and asked myself,
"Where did they find the courage?" Now I know.

We have no choice. Living without liberty is not living. -- Ed Evans,
MGySgt., USMC (Ret.)

1. Is he talking about cruise missiles in Baghdad?

"I will force myself to: -hear the weeping;

-feel the helplessness; -imagine the terror;

-sense the panic ;-smell the burning flesh

- experience the loss; - remember the hatred."

Thanks Ed -- I'm with ya!!!

2. So in short, it's a promise to ignore reason and foster hatred.

And kill the enemy forever and ever, amen. Not exactly inspiring.

[TheFarseer]

3. I'm really confused

as to how Clinton armed Islamic terrorists with the latest equiptment or whatever. You could easily say Reagan, maybe Bush I but Clinton? I'm at a bit of a loss here. Are they exaggerating a small point or flat out making things up?

[merh]

14. the evil penis at work again!

Blame big dawg for all, they will believe it :shrug:

[BlueEyedSon]

4. "Civilized people cannot fathom, much less predict, the actions of evil

people"

That's why Cheney, Bush & Co are so dangerous to civilization.

[The_Casual_Observer]

5. WTF is this shit? Who is writing it, Lenni Riefenstahl?

"liberty"?, Jesus, another year to two of this bush monster government and they will have us under martial law.

[ezee]

6. As with most all

These types of mail, they site NO source material. ITs there way of keepping there sheep all in the pen.
I used to get this type of stuff from my relatives. They stopped sending it when I demanded there source, or when I was debunking it from Snopes. They are SOOOOO lame.

8. But he will forget:

-- that Bush cut funding for anti-terrorism

-- that Bush cut personnel for anti-terrorism

-- that Bush treated existing anti-terroism proposals as if they had "cooties" because HIS people hadn't had a hand in making them. And his people took their own sweet time about putting their fingerprints on it.

-- that Bush sent financial aid to the Taliban ("those who hated us")

-- Bush did not retaliate against the bombers of the Cole, who'se identities were confirmed on his watch

I can go on, but first I would like MGySgt. Evans to set up some sort of place (a website, a page on soemone elses') where we can confirm his identity and that he actually wrote this. Other similar statements attributed to past or presently-serving military personnel have been determined to have been falsified: in some cases a respected retired military person's name has been added to words he did not write, in other cases the words were placed out of context, implying they referred to an event very different from the one for which they were actually made.

9. This is an oldie

It's been around for a couple of years.

For someone who writes he will not be manipulated, he sure doesn't seem to mind doing some manipulating of his own.

I wonder who he thinks is asking him to forget 9/11. There is certainly a big difference between remembering and using for political advantage which is what BushCo has been doing for years.

As far a "feel good do nothing regulation" he can thank Homeland Security for that. This is what they came up with.

10. Unmatched in its idiocy.

I can't wait to see what happens after Kerry wins. Morons like this are going to implode.

[ComerPerro]

11. And I will never forget that Bush DIDNT DO A GOD DAMNED THING

I will never forget that he went on vacation for a full month just before 9/11, and either by design or through incompetence he ignored repeated warnings about an impended attack.

[lectrobyte]

12. they left off this part:

I will not forgot the Bush administration, the president got a daily briefing that said Osama determined to attack in US, and took a month off to Crawford.

[Killarney]

13. Here is what you write back

I will never forget the man who did this--Osama bin Laden.

It's too bad our President has.

[ezekiel333]

15. Hey Master Gun's never forget...

Your sworn oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC.

The White House is occupied by a DOMESTIC enemy, an unelected "leader" who deserted from the Texas Air Guard during a time of war. A domestic enemy who is destroying our liberties daily. His number two chickenhawk took 5 deferments from the war and arranged no bid war profiteering contracts for his old company, from which he still receives deferred compensation, all this while Marines bleed in a war based on lies.

So support your oath and defend the Constitution, help remove the occupying forces from the White House, join Veterans for Kerry.

~Gunny C USMC (Ret.)

Yeah, I know it's an old letter, but I couldn't help myself.
