This Response To The Beheading Of James Foley From A Pissed Off Marine Veteran Is Going Viral; It’s Easy To See Why

A Marine Corps veteran has written a scathing open letter to the Islamic state and made it absolutely clear how he feels about them. It’s going viral, and it’s easy to see why. This message was a response to the beheading of journalist James Foley.
This powerful response was reportedly written by Nick Powers, a Marine vet, who served in Iraq. The main point is you really don’t want to pick a fight with the United States, because if you do, the bear will awaken, and all of the power we possess will come raining down on you, and we will crush you in days:
“As I sit here constantly hearing and watching you execute innocent men, women and children in the Middle East I chuckle. Why do I chuckle you may ask? Well let me explain something to you cowardice fools who think you are so tough behind all your propaganda videos. You are scaring a population that doesn’t know how to fight, you’re bullying the weak.
You say Islam is the religion of peace, but since when does terrorizing the innocent and beheading men, women and children constitute peace? WTF? But keep in mind, what did Saddam’s troops do when we came rolling into town? They surrendered, twice… So all your empty threats of coming to America and raising your flag over the White House amuse me more than any of you sick, sadistic bastards could ever imagine or comprehend.

In 2012 there was about 21.2 million veterans in the United States. Do you understand what that means? Let me break it down for you. That means there are literally millions of disgruntled, dysfunctional, pissed off veterans who have been dealing with years of abuse from their government stabbing them in the backs and having to watch their friends die because you Islamic extremist idiots can’t seem to act like normal human beings and stop terrorism and the violence.
It’s one thing to take over an Islamic state, but if my memory serves me correctly, I’m pretty sure we plowed through Fallujah in 4 days. Better yet, it took us about month to control your entire country. At this point, with 13+ years of war under our belts, how long do you think it would take us to do it all over again? I’ll let you draw your own conclusions on that one. Do you really think you stand a chance on US soil? Do you really think it would be smart to poke that bear? Remember, never bite the hand that feeds you.Remember we are armed to the teeth in the US and I can promise you this… the Geneva Conventions will not apply to you. You attack us and there will be no mercy. We will bring the righteous hand of God down upon you and crush you. The ball is in your court now ISIS. We are more than ready to arrange your so called “meeting” with your 72 virgins and send you to your “prophet” Mohamed.”
UPDATE: To all who read this and assume this is against all Muslims, I am sorry you are too blind to read, this isn’t against Muslims in general. If you feel otherwise I suggest you look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself one question, am I an extremist? You say Islam is the religion of peace, since when does terrorizing the innocent (beheading women and children) mean peace? This is directed at all extremists, if this offends/makes you angry or you think I am racist you are are probably an extremist…
While this is unlikely to impact ISIS in any way, it’s a reminder of a basic truth. Don’t pick a fight with America, if you do there will be serious consequences. Even Obama could not resist responding to a major attack on U.S. soil, or U.S. interests anywhere in the world.
