An open letter from a Marine

From Blackfive, an open letter from a Marine to the sadists who kidnapped Marine Cpl Wassef Hassoun:

When you raise that sword over your head I want you to remember one thing. Corporal Wassef Ali Hassoun is not alone as he kneels before you. Every Marine who has ever worn the uniform is there with him, and when you strike him you are striking all of us. If you think the Marines were tough on you when they were cleaning out Fallujah a few weeks ago you haven’t seen anything yet. If you want to know what it feels like to have the Wrath of God called down upon you then go ahead and do it. We are not Turkish truck drivers, or Pakistani laborers, or independent contractors hoping to find work in your country. We are the United States Marines, and we will be coming for you.

His family is asking for prayers. I think the terrorists who kidnapped Cpl Hassoun should be praying, too.
