The Rusty Humphries Show got a letter from a Soldier in Iraq

“I hope you are satisfied with what you have done…

Today in the mess hall, where there is usually jovial conversation, there was silence, long faces, and broken spirits… Everyone, to include all American soldiers, marines, sailors, airmen, Iraqi Nationals, Bulgarian Soldiers, etc, etc… was speechless, tired, demoralized and stunned…. all ate in eerie silence…..

Last night, while we watched the press conference with the President, there was utter disgust, and the common feeling amongst us all that we soldiers are now the loneliest people on Earth…. we fight an enemy over here, and we have a country full of enemies to go home to that are our countrymen. We watched President Bush say his own political funeral, our commander and chief.. as well as ours….. He tried so hard to spin it, but… well.. there is no way to soften such a morale blow.

While you sit and Monday morning quarterback what we work so hard to do for you out here, just know that the spirit of your team is wounded….. YOU liberals, you America have done a great job of demoralizing us… Thank you.

Do us a favor though, when we do come home, spare us the ceremony……. We all now know that it is a bunch of crap, and what you think of us…….

I have to say that right now, I would rather be a pussy ass Frenchman, even though they have no will to fight, at least they have the balls to make a decision and stick with it…… They stuck to their guns about staying out of this war, even if it was the wrong decision……America on the other hand, goes off half cocked, and when the decision appears to be a hard one, or something that might cost a little bit, they turn tail and run…..

WHAT A NATION OF PUSSIES!!!!

This week I am NOT proud to say that I am an American……….I think it is obvious why… See, we just have told the world that we are not a nation of people who are tough, and will fight for what we believe in… We have told the world that we are a giant coward that will shy away from any difficult challenge…

So, while you eat your cheetos, and sit there and watch your lazy ass get fatter, dumber and happier Joe Citizen.. Just remember this, I, and all my commrades payed a dear price to come this far and have you decide that we should fail…

Realize this, because of your action this week America…. do not expect so many men to be so willing to stand up for your next little whim just to be cut down in the middle of it all…………

Realize this also.. you have just put a heavy price on the heads of us all…… Now that we are branded as cowards, we are an easy target, oh so inviting for the taking……. I swore to protect your children in your beds…. yet you fling the door wide open inspite of me to invite the scourge…. Well…. have it your way then.

Because of this, September 11th will soon be overshadowed by these same enemies.. my advice to you is get your lazy, self centered ass up and make peace with your God, and your family.. cause, time will come when they may not be there for you…………….Because you kicked me in the teeth, and so many others, I know I won’t any more.. “

It’s not the first time this same group has weakened the image of the United States around the world. They first did it with their protests and refusal to support the Vietnam War and worse, the American Soldiers who fought that war.

When we left Vietnam and left those who put their lives on the line to support us in that war, our image in the world was forever changed. The once great America could no longer be trusted to keep it’s word. The once great America would walk away from an obligation and a promise. The once great America would leave those who supported it to the punishment of the enemy. So sorry, but there are hippies back home protesting and refusing to fight for their country, so we gotta go.

It wasn’t just Vietnam. There have been other times since that we have left those we promised to support high and dry. The Bay of Pigs comes to mind.

Is it any wonder that those who depend on us for their own security are getting more than a little nervous.

This one generation, raised by ‘the greatest generation’ has done more to weaken this country than any other. And now they are back up to their old tricks.

Funny though, since the dems won some seats in Congress they are changing their tune. They won’t be able to blame Bush if pulling out of Iraq spreads the cancerous jihadists closer to home. So now they hesitate to be quite so loud and demanding about immediate withdrawal.

That really angers me. They have had access to the intelligence. They’ve known all along the danger. And yet they have been willing to use that as a political tool to badger the President. Now that they are in power they are backing up. So much for Statemanship. To them, it’s all about ‘the party’.

So now the enemy are counting their blessings and making their plans. They perceive this as confirmation of the fulfillment of bin Laden’s prophesy. He said the American people would not have the will for the Long Fight. He said they would win because Americans are soft and would not see the fight through. He said something to the effect that Americans have all the clocks but they have the time.

I still wonder what it will take to get our attention, to wake this country up.

I really hate for us to be French-ish.
