Griff's Bro
Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2008 8:29 pmhey guys and Griff got this from my dad who got it from Matt.
B your brother is a weird son of a bitch man, props to him!!!
> Dear Terrorists,
> I am a United States Soldier. I was born and raised in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio. I come from a family of four. I was raised in a middle class home and taught my values by my mother and father. My dad worked as a police officer, and my Mom a nurse. We were not an overly religious family but attended church most Sundays. It was a nice medium size Catholic church where I also attended elementary school. I have a brother and i am the oldest in my family. I was the first in many generations to voluntarily join the military. I signed up to fight you one month after 9/11.
>
> I have been in the Army for the last 6 years. For me the military was never a lifelong dream or a "calling," it just happened. I needed college money and I liked the challenge. I continue to do it today because I feel it is important to give back to a nation which has given so much to me. I do it because although I will never be rich, my family will be comfortable. I do it because many of my friends are settling down with their careers and someone has to do it. My government has spent millions to train me to use state of the art modern technologically advanced weaponry and equipment. I make about 60,000 dollars a year and after 20 years will be offered a pension.
>
> I like baseball but think the players make too much money. I am in awe of firemen and policemen and what they do each day for my community, and like teachers, they just don't get paid enough. I respect my elders and always use sir or ma'am when addressing a stranger. I'm not sure about kids these days but I think that's normal for every generation. I voted for John Kerry not for his veteran status but because I like him. I didn't vote for George Bush because I didn't think he was qualified to be president.
>
> I tell you all this because when I come for you, I want you to know me. I won't be hiding behind a woman or a child. I won't be disguised or pretending to be something I am not. I will be in a US Army uniform. I will be wearing standard US combat gear, and I will be riding in or driving a HUMMVE. I wish we could meet up close in a small room where I could wrap my hands around your throat and slowly squeeze the life out of you but unfortunately you're hiding in a hole in the ground so we will have to do this a different way.
>
> I want you to know also that I am very good at what I do. I can put a 5.56mm armor piercing bullet through the center of a united states quarter dollar from 300 meters away, run up to 5 miles before i get tired, fight you bare fisted, operate various machine guns effectively, and I can do my missions without food or sleep. I generally only do missions at night so you may want to start sleeping during the day. I am not eager to die for my country but I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect it from animals like you. I will do everything in my power to ensure no civilians are hurt as I take aim at you.
>
> My countrymen are a forgiving bunch. Many are already forgetting what you did on Sept 11th. But I will not forget, and my battle buddies will not forget.
>
> I am coming. I hope you know me a little bit better, see you soon, sleep tight.
