Dear Terrorists (pic posted)
THIS CAME IN AS AN EMAIL
Dear Terrorists,
I am a Navy Aviator. I was born and raised as an Army brat. I come from a family of five. I was raised in a middle class home and taught my values by my mother and father.
My dad was a lifer in the army and my mom took care of us kids. We were not an overly religious family but attended church most Sundays. It was a nice small Methodist Church. I have two
sisters and I am the oldest in my family. I was the first in many generations to attend college.
I have flown Naval aircraft for 16 years. For me the flying was never a lifelong dream or a "calling," it just happened. I needed a job and I liked the challenge. I continue to do it today because I feel it is important to give back to a nation which has given so much to me. I do it because, although I will never be rich, my family will be comfortable.
I do it because many of my friends have left for the airlines and someone has to do it.
My government has spent millions to train me to fly these
multi-million dollar aircraft. I make about 70,000 dollars a year and after 20 years will be offered a pension
I like baseball but think the players make too much money. I am in awe of firemen and policemen and what they do each day for my community, and like teachers, they just don't get paid enough.
I respect my elders and always use sir or ma'am when addressing a stranger. I'm not sure about kids these days but I think that's normal for every generation.
I tell you all this because when I am coming for you, I want you to know me. I won't be hiding behind a woman or a child. I won't be disguised or pretending to be something I am not. I will be in a U.S. issue flight suit. I will be wearing standard US issue flight gear, and I will be flying a navy aircraft clearly marked as a US warplane. I wish we could
meet up close in a small room where I could wrap my hands around your throat and slowly squeeze the life out of you, but unfortunately, you're hiding in a hole in the ground, so we will have to do this a different way.
I want you to know also I am very good at what I do. I can put a 2,000 lb. weapon in the back window of a pick up truck from 10,000 feet up. I generally only fly at night, so you may want to start sleeping during the day. I am not eager to die for my country but I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect my family, my friends and my Country from animals like you
I will do everything in my power to ensure no civilians are hurt as I take aim at you.
My countrymen are a forgiving bunch. Many are already forgetting what you did on Sept 11th. But I will not forget!!
I am coming. I hope you know me a little bit better, see you soon. Sleep tight if you can.
Signed
A U.S. Navy Pilot

Sounds like it came from the same pen as "Double Tap", another e-mail letter from a service person without a name or unit, which we are treated to a few times each year on this forum.
