This is why ISIS (or all takers) will NEVER beat us. Never win. You might kill me. You WON'T kill MINE. Do you agree?
I've been trying to avoid click-bait. But this one, I think, deserves a post.
In the final moments of his life, this man, this AMERICAN, selflessly died, doing his damnedest to save the life of someone he cared about, however peripherally. She wrote this letter to thank him, and I imagine that she will spend the rest of her life, thankful for him. I don't know if he ever wore a uniform. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. Regardless....THIS is why, you terrorist fucks of ISIS, you sub-humans who think you can subjugate ME and MINE with fear, and violence, THIS IS WHY you will never win. I will win. Me, and my country. WE WILL FUCKING PREVAIL. Because you are cowards. Rapers of women and children. And this man, this man who you might count as political capital...HE SAVED AN AMERICAN LIFE. He said, in his final moments, "FUCK YOU, ISIS". There are 300 million of him. 300 million of me. 300 million Americans who, though we in-fight, mostly hold the same values. Compared to your, what? 2000? Because, as SSG James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4" so eloquently pointed out in another post, YOU DO NOT FUCKING REPRESENT MUSLIMS. You represent rapists. Pedophiles. Torturers. Animals.
A random American, caught up in the moment, put you to shame. Showed you TRUE courage. So fuck you, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Please, show up on my shores, in my state. I will open my door for you. And I will happily give you your 72 goats. Or, as you call them, virgins. I HOPE, that in that moment, I am as strong as Shannon Johnson was, to be able to tell my countrymen, "I got you".

"No more precious thing was ever given, than he who would lay down his life for his brother."
Each and every one of you, I would take a bullet for, if it would save your life. I value any of you more than myself, or 50 of these SOBs.

1SG (Join to see) Ahhh Top. (I hope that's correct. An Army member recently made fun of me for getting Army ranks wrong. I mean no disrespect). I am old, washed up. My time has come and gone, and sadly, I didn't make the best of it.
Save that bullet-taking for someone younger, more productive. Better still, avoid it all together. You represent the best of us all. I think you'd do us all much more good if you dispense your wisdom, commitment to duty, and humbleness.
As a life-long Sailor, first in the Navy, then MM's, there's probably not much I could offer a ground-pounder. But what I can, I would. For what words are worth.

The United States was badly defeated in Iraq. Thinking anything else is dangerous.
Anyone who thinks differently should get the Maurice Gamelin Award for operational and strategic excellence.

The people of Iraq suffered under Saddam, under the UN sanctions from the '90's onward, from OIF and on until today. There really isn't an Iraq now.

1SG (Join to see) - I definitely recall from 1991 the media saying that 100,000 Iraqi soldiers were killed in Desert Storm.
Some months later I saw a small blurb that said US Army graves registration buried 1,667 Iraqi soldiers.
All those figures are suspect.

Capt Walter Miller, while reliable estimates are hard to come by for Operation Desert Storm, everything I can find is between 20 and 35k Iraqi Army killed. That figures pretty well with the amount of equipment destroyed. Iraqi remains found in Iraq would have been dealt with by Iraqi assets. While I don't know this with certainty, it is probable that handling Iraqi remains would have been deferred to Arab allies for cultural reasons. That is the most likely explanation for the disparity in numbers.
