A US Marine's Letter on Israel

SEMPER FI!

I don't run every letter I get from our soldiers and Marines in Iraq but this one blew me away. I am humbled by this Marine's heart, soul, and courage. To be an American and understand who we are and what we fight for is an extraordinary gift. I don't think this Marine could ever know what his words meant, but I shall be forever in his debt. Gd bless you Sir and godspeed.

Dear Atlas,

I am the Marine that wrote to you about the News Media betraying us.
I just wanted to tell you that we, Marines, SUPPORT Israel in their war against Hamas and Hizbullah. I cannot express to you how many Marines I have talked to or have heard say how proud of Israel they are. I cannot tell you how happy I am that Israel is destroying Hamas and Hizullah. We all CHEER when we watch Lebanon being bombed on TV in the Chow Hall. I hope Israel annihilates Hamas, Hizbullah and Syria. Because the way we see it, that is less Jihadists for us to fight. I can't speak for all Marines, but the Marines that I know and talk to stand by Israel 100%. And I am in the infantry, we are front line Marines. Warriors. We support Israel because we have fought the same people they are fighting, Jihadists. This is a world war. It has been a world war since 11 September 2001. Hopefully now people are realizing the true scale of this conflagration. And Israel is fighting the same enemy in Gaza and Lebanon as America is fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, just on another front in the same war. And we see the Israeli Soldiers as brothers in arms against a common enemy.  Myself and the Marines in my unit, Veterans of 2 tours in Iraq, support Israel all the way to victory. And I THANK the State of Israel for their determination, fortitude and vigilance in the destruction of Evil.
God Bless America.
God Bless Israel.
And God Bless all freedom loving people worldwide.

- US Marine and Veteran of the current world war.

PS Pay attention to Somalia. We are currently losing Somalia to the Jihadists and we are doing nothing about it. Someday we will have to go back Somalia and it will be a bloody mess.

I love this man and Marines he serves with. I thank you, my family thanks you, my country thanks you. There is not a day that goes by that I don't pray for you.

Semper Fi, Marine! Your core values - Honor, Courage, Commitment - are brightly shining. Thanks for your note.

My heart goes out to this brave American. Semper Fi indeed. It does my soul good to know that we still have men (and women) who are willing to stand up, speak the truth, put themselves in harms way in order to protect not only America but the rest of the free world fromt he scourge of Islam.

Stand with Israel indeed! I stand foresquare with this hero and all others willing to guard humanity from barbaric, 7th century goat f--kers!

p.s. He is 100% correct regarding his assesement of the situation in Somalia.

God Bless this Marine. GOD BLESS HIM.

It's not just Somalia. Watch central Africa as a major target of the spread of Islam.

G-d bless and Semper Fi from Jerusalem.

We must all pray daily for this Marine and his comrades, and spread his message to all.

I think most Americans instinctively tend to support Israel. The anti-Israel sentiment that does exist originates largely with "progressives" on university faculties, as amplified and transmitted by various writers, entertainers, and self-defined intellectuals.

Leftists have often claimed that the support of Israel by Evangelicals is due to theology. This may have a little truth, but not much--the main reason the Evangelicals support Israel, IMNSHO, is that they are mostly outside the force field of opinions centering on academia.

This Marine has more common sense in his little finger than most of our elected officials have in their whole bodies. His letter was inspiring and perfectly describes how TRUE Patriots feel about Israel. Their battle is our battle, and vice-versa. We're so indebted to all our Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Guardsman.

God Bless our Troops (and Israel's too) and give them the power, courage, and wit to destroy all the terrorists, especially Bin Laden.

Thank you Marine!

Ayn Rand at 100: "Yours is the Glory"

  • Aynrandstamp_1

  • Speaking to the unnamed, unchampioned, beating heart of her new land, Ayn was to say: 'Yours is the glory.'"
    A man whose ability and independence leads others to reject him, but who perseveres nevertheless to achieve his values. Man as an individual, as a creator. What's the most depraved type of human being? Not a sadist or a murderer or a sex maniac or a dictator; "The man without a purpose." Yet most people seem to go through their lives without a clearly defined purpose.


Barter


  • Life has Loveliness to sell,
    All beautiful and splendid things,
    Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
    Soaring fires that sways and swing,
    And children's faces looking up,
    Holding wonder like a cup

    Life has Loveliness to sell,
    Music like a curve of Gold,
    Scent of pinetrees in the rain,
    Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
    And for your spirit's still delight,
    Holy stars that star the night.

    Spend all you have for loveliness,
    Buy it and never count the cost;
    For one white singing hour of Peace
    Count many a year of strife well lost
    And for a breath of ecstasy
    Give all you have been, or could be.
