This was in my mail box this AM, along with a lot of shit from people not Americans. They are pissed that I dared to post the fact that it was the Marine Corps birthday yesterday. Has nothing to do with diving, I am not an American, so shut up. Every single e-mail I received, that was chewing me out, calling me names (ouch), or otherwise reprimanding me for the post was from some place in Europe. Telling me I should pray for peace, not war. *You* lickspittle's pray for peace, and cower behind your little glowing screen. Me and mine will prepare for the war you weenies will surely get us into. Your bullshit has just made me more resolute. Lets *all* just hope you morons never need the US to fight your wars for you again. After all, just look what *fine* shape Europe and its economy are in. Wont be long, us lowly, stupid, illiterate, un-eloquent, war loving Americans will be back "over there" (oh, shit, we are *still* there from last time, aren't we!) fighting, killing and dying so that others may live free as well. If you feel that I "imposed" upon you and the NG, too fucking bad. Why is it such a crime to take a little bandwidth to ask people to remember and think about those who gave so much to all of us? Today is Veterans Day here in the US. Its a day we honor our war dead and veterans. Including the men who died fighting in Europe. I hope that pisses you all off too. I hope the letter below *really* pisses you off. Scott ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Thursday, November 11, 1999 7:42 AM Subject: I liked your tribute to the Marines! > Hi!
