Marines seem to tell-it-all the best!! These types of guys make our lives livable here at home. God bless the American riflemen.

Subject: From the Sand Pit

Here is a US Marine who is not afraid to tell it like it is. Political Correctness doesn't mean beans to this tough young warrior.

From a Recon Marine in Afghanistan

It's freezing here. I'm sitting on hard, cold dirt between rocks and shrubs at the base of the Hindu Kush Mountains along the Dar 'yoi Pomir River watching a hole that leads to a tunnel that leads to a cave. Stake out, my friend, and no pizza delivery for thousands of miles.

I also glance at the area around my ass every ten to fifteen seconds to avoid another scorpion sting. I've actually given up battling the chiggers and sand fleas, but them scorpions give a jolt like a cattle prod. Hurts like a bastard. The antidote tastes like transmission fluid but God bless the Marine Corps for the five vials of it in my pack.

The one truth the Taliban cannot escape is that, believe it or not, they are human beings, which means they have to eat food and drink water. That requires couriers and that's where an old bounty hunter like me comes in handy. I track the couriers, locate the tunnel entrances and storage facilities, type the info into the handheld, shoot the coordinates up to the satellite link that tells the air commanders where to drop the hardware, we bash some heads for a while, then I track and record the new movement.

It's all about intelligence. We haven't even brought in the snipers yet. These scurrying rats have no idea what they're in for. We are but days away
rom cutting off supply lines and allowing the eradication to begin.

I dream of bin Laden waking up to find me standing over him with my boot on his throat as I spit into his face and plunge my nickel plated Bowie knife through his frontal lobe. But you know me. I'm a romantic. I've said it before and I'll say it again: This country blows, man. It's not even a country. There are no roads, there's no infrastructure, there's no government. This is an inhospitable, rock pit shit hole ruled by eleventh century warring tribes. There are no jobs here like we know jobs.

Afghanistan offers two ways for a man to support his family: join the opium trade or join the army. That's it. Those are your options. Oh, I forgot, you can also live in a refugee camp and eat plum-sweetened, crushed beetle paste and squirt mud like a goose with stomach flu if that's your idea of a party. But the smell alone of those 'tent cities of the walking dead' is enough to hurl you into the poppy fields to cheerfully scrape bulbs for eighteen hours a day.

I've been living with these Tajiks and Uzbeks and Turkmen and even a couple of Pushtins for over a month and a half now and this much I can say for sure: These guys, all of 'em, are Huns...actual, living Huns. They LIVE to fight. It's what they do. It's ALL they do. They have no respect for anything, not for their families or for each other or for themselves.

They claw at one another as a way of life. They play polo with dead calves and force their five-year-old sons into human cockfights to defend the family honor. Huns, roaming packs of savage, heartless beasts who feed on each other's barbarism. Cavemen with AK47's. Then again, maybe I'm just cranky.

I'm freezing my ass off on this stupid hill because my lap warmer is running out of juice and I can't recharge it until the sun comes up in a few hours.

Oh yeah! You like to write letters, right? Do me a favor, Bizarre. Write a letter to CNN and tell Wolf and Anderson and that awful, sneering, pompous Aaron Brown to stop calling the Taliban 'smart.' They are not smart. I suggest CNN invest in a dictionary because the word they are looking for is 'cunning.' The Taliban are cunning, like jackals and hyenas and wolverines. They are sneaky and ruthless and, when confronted, cowardly. They are hateful, malevolent parasites who create nothing and destroy everything else. Smart. Pfft. Yeah, they're real smart.

They've spent their entire lives reading only one book(and not a very good one, as books go) and consider hygiene and indoor plumbing to be products of the devil. They're still figuring out how to work a Bic lighter. Talking to a Taliban warrior about improving his quality of life is like trying to teach an ape how to hold a pen; eventually he just gets frustrated and sticks you in the eye with it.

OK, enough. Snuffle will be up soon so I have to get back to my hole. Covering my tracks in the snow takes a lot of practice but I'm good at it. Please, I tell you and my fellow Americans to turn off the TV sets and move on with your lives.

The story line you are getting from CNN and other news agencies is utter bullshit and designed not to deliver truth but rather to keep you glued to the screen through the commercials. We've got this one under control. The worst thing you guys can do right now is sit around analyzing what we're doing over here because you have no idea what we're doing and, really, you don't want to know. We are your military and we are doing what you sent us here to do.

You wanna help? Buy Bonds America.

Recon Marine in Afghanistan
Semper Fi"

Thinking about how he describes the backwardness and savagery of the Afghanis it dawned on me what the problems is here: Their disregard and disrespect for women.

They are the perfect laboratory proof that women DO civilize men: Without that influence duly exercised and respected (like in normal, healthy societies) this is the kind of culture you get...one drowning in massive testosterone poisoning. Savages who can't move past their primitive state. Animals who can be taught to manipulate others' tools, but cannot invent them, understand them or make them for themselves.

Now, I love a manly man, and I detest the "feminizing" of the West, and "metrosexual" rubbish—but there is a difference between civilizing and sissifying.

And our Marine friend here, is the perfect shining example of where that line should be drawn.

The Moslems live in the 7th century because they refuse to listen to and learn from their women. The unbalanced, unhealthy, murderous and hateful nature of their societies, the violence, the disrespect for life, the savage, brutal and primitive lives they lead are the result of undiluted and uncontrolled male behavior.

(Don't get me wrong here. A purely female society would be sacharine, indulgent and decadent, and ripe for conquest at the drop of a butterknife.)

It's so obvious, yet it never really occurred to me before. Mostly because I don't care, I suppose, how they got that way. I'm just mainly interested in keeping their rot contained to themselves, or if necessary, killing them before they kill us.

But it is an object lesson in the nature of humanity, and the balance necessary between the sexes for a healthy society for both men and women. American men—civilized but unfeminized—and American women—bold and independent but still feminine....are second only to the angels. And we have each other to thank. Who could civilize men but women? Who could embolden women but men? We need each other. But the cretinous Musselmen have thrown that blessing away...and we see the stinking sewer of a result.

I'd say "Allah help them", but Allah is just a scabrous toad of their own invention to justify the wild and mindless indulgence of their animal hormonal urges.

Instead, I'll say: "Kill 'em all, and let God sort 'em out."
