Sent to me by a buddy...damn good stuff.



Dear Terrorists,

I am a Navy Aviator. I was born and raised in a small town in New
England. 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 worked a series of jobs in finance 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 Episcopal Church. I have a brother and sister and I am the youngest 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 voted for George Bush because I like him.   I think I made a pretty
good choice.

I tell you all this because when I come 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 that I am very good at what I do. I can put a
2,000 lb weapon through a window 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 it 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, and my President will not
forget.

I am coming. I hope you know me a little bit better, see you
soon...sleep tight.

Signed

A U.S. Navy Pilot
