Another Riveting Account From the Frontlines
Here is exactly why we will win. So long as fine young men are allowed to do what they trained to do, and believe in what they are doing, we cannot lose. It’s been said before, and I’ll say it here: We will never be beaten in combat; if we lose it will be because we defeated ourselves.
Rush received an email from a Marine in Iraq. It was written to the wives of the men in the unit by the CO about the most recent outbreak of hostilities in Fallujah.
The enemy did not run; they fought us like soldiers. And we destroyed the enemy like only Marines can. By the end of the evening the local hospital was so full of their dead and wounded that they ran out of space to put them. Your husbands were awesome all night. They stayed at the job of securing the streets and nobody challenged them as the hours wore on. They did not surrender an inch nor did flinch from the next potential threat. Previous to yesterday the terrorist thought that we were soft enough to challenge. As of tonight the message is loud and clear that the Marines will not be beaten.
If the enemy is foolish enough to try to take your men again they will not survive contact. We are here to win.
The news looks grim from back in the States. We did take losses that, in our hearts, we will always live with. The men we lost were taken within the very opening minutes of the violence. They could not have foreseen the treachery of the enemy and they did not suffer. We can never replace these Marines and Sailors but they will fight on with us in spirit. We are not feeling sorry for ourselves nor do we fear what tomorrow will bring. The battalion has lived up to its reputation as Magnificent Bastards. Yesterday made everyone here stronger and wiser; it will be a cold day in Hell before we are taken for granted again.
God Bless Our Troops.
