Not necessarily agreed–but this was taken from an email forward written by a veteran voicing his concerns on the US approach towards terrorists and human rights. Some of the language is explicit. but considering the casualties our country has endured at the hands of terrorists and for teh perseverance of freedom, we will post ver batim
Strength and Honor
Don’t know if I would be welcome jumping into the email chain between you and the Landon boys. Some of the comments on the terrorists that come in to our country and about the war got my blood boiling. This is what came out,
I’m not a smart man I’m just a frogman, so this will not be elegant or well written. I don’t hold a degree from a big fancy college; but I have a binder full of graduations certificates from the best Special Operations Schools. Instead of a Blackberry full of business contacts, I carry a radio with my QRF (Quick Reaction Force) freq’s and my AIRNETS that I can call on if I get into a gunfight. Instead of checking my email each morning to see what my stocks are doing I check mine to see where IED’s have gone off; and what aircraft I am being assigned for my next mission. Here are some things I can say, trust me, chemical weapons have been found out here in the sandbox. Terrorists should be treated as enemy combatants even if they do not wear a uniform. Don’t set a distinction and call these fuckers who try to set off bombs in Times Square or on a plane, by calling them detainees. They are terrorists. Let’s call a spade as spade here.
Somehow people who have never served a day in the military, but have evidently been successful enough in life to be able to afford to run for office, have never learned how to win a war. The way to win a war is to destroy the enemy and kill enough of their guys that it no longer makes it worthwhile to fight back. Instead, we play in to the enemies hands. We have handcuffed ourselves by political correctness and limited our ability to fight. The US Govt has spent millions to equip our troops with equipment to fight at night. Now in Afghanistan some of our most highly trained and best equipped troops; who specialize at hunting down the enemy in their homes and killing them at night are only allowed to conduct missions during the day time. They are not even allowed to shoot at people who are planting IED’s just outside the main gate of their camps. They have to wait till they are done placing the IED. Then send out EOD, to risk their necks, to disarm the IED. We are saddled with working with indigenous forces who we know are dirty. At times we have even had to conduct raids on the homes of members of the host country military because they are terrorists; in most cases highly placed in the terrorist groups.
These terrorists (yes, I call them terrorists cause I don’t give a fuck who I offend) who try to attack my country, not just my fellow countrymen overseas, but inside my country against civilians; they should be treated as enemy combatants. But instead they are read their rights and then its leads to a court room circus. This is a war and the way to end a war is to destroy the enemy; not try to play by the moral rules that liberal pussies who have never carried a gun for a living try to place on rough men who do. Men who have never seen evil in the world. Academics who live behind the cloistered walls of civilized society. We are not dealing with civilized men. We are fighting against men who are still living in the 12th century, but are armed with much more effective weaponry that just makes them more dangerous. The way to end this entire war is to “Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war” let us do are jobs and don’t hamstring us. When we signed up for the military and volunteered again for one of our Nation’s Special Operations Forces, it means that we want to be at the tip of the spear and take it to the enemy. We are very good at our jobs. Sure we can train indigenous forces, but what we are really good at is killing the enemies of our Country. If you look at the history of Warfare that is what wins wars— killing the opposition. The Japs gave up because we killed so many of them, the Brits gave up cause we killed so many; they said fuck it we’ve still tons of colonies elsewhere. The Egyptians gave up in six days to the Jews because they killed so many of them. It may sound ignorant to the liberals, who say things like the Cold War was won with a shot being fired. OK, got me. We won! We just spent money till Russia ran out of it. Yes we have won every major battle of this war on terror, now let’s just hope the political pussies in Washington can locate their testicles to finally win the war. Here’s a hint for them. Reach into your purse, probably in there you will find them. Have them reattached with some of that free health care you keep talking about. Once they find their testicles, let us go and do our jobs and kill these terrorists who are threatening our country. Again I’m just a man who makes his living with a gun in my hands and a radio on my back. God Bless. A. Frogman

Dear John’ inspired by Mesa College student
Danielle Briggs
|
The recently released Hollywood film, Dear John, is inspired by the life of a current Mesa student and his story of finding romance during a leave from the army.
Todd Vance, 28, is Nicholas Sparks’ cousin, the author of Dear John. Vance said Sparks based the novel-turned-film on his life while serving in the United States Army.
“There a few things he [Sparks] changed to make the story more interesting, but it is a pretty accurate depiction of what really happened,” said Vance.
The film is set in South Carolina where John is on leave from the army, meets a girl, and falls in love. The two are inseparable and continue dating and writing letters to each other, though he deploys back to Germany and she goes back to school.
“I came home on leave for two weeks and met a girl on the beach,” said Vance. “We spent every minute together and wrote to each other after I left.”
Vance, a San Diego native, enlisted with the Army in 1999, where he served as a Squad Leader in the Army Infantry as well as the 3rd Striker Brigade. Prior to Sept. 11, he had four months left on his contract, but re-enlisted and served in the war that ensued.
“We flew to Kuwait, and then the striker unit drove to northern Iraq,” said Vance.
While the romance follows Vance’s life more closely, the combat scenes are portrayed quite differently.
“In the movie John is in the Special Forces, which I was not,” Vance said. “He is also shot twice in the back. I was never shot, but pieces of metal flew into my back after a grenade explosion.”
In the film, while he is in combat, John learns that his dad is dying, and is sent back home to be with him, which is similar to the happenings in Vance’s life.
“My step-dad had a cyst behind his pancreas and had surgery to have it removed,” he said. “He passed from complications with the surgery.”
While this happens when John is in combat, Vance says it actually happened when he was on his two-week leave in San Diego, when he initially met his girlfriend.
The movie also shows John being broken up with in a final letter his girlfriend sends him telling him she’s engaged to someone else.
“My girlfriend never cheated on me, we stayed together the whole time,” said Vance.
Vance was let out of the Army in 2005, and came back home to San Diego, where he returned to his girlfriend, though they broke up after his homecoming.
“Being away from each other was really tough, and it created a lot of tension,” he said. “I also had a lot to deal with and it didn’t make the relationship work.”
In the end of the movie, John and his ex-girlfriend reunite after he comes back home, but similar to real life, the couple did not stay together in the movie.
“After the movie came out, we started talking again, but we’re just friends,” concluded Vance.
