Ghost Troop Home Page April Fools Part 3
Eric,
I think my friend asked some legitimate questions and I am going to be offended for him because I am not going to forward your response to him. He is very willing to commit, and is probably over-committed to causes founded in truth WITH a capital T. That he asks for some factual evidence for the foundations of your cause before he commits I would say is quite reasonable. Rather than provide some evidence, why do you attack the inquirer? That makes me suspicious also.
So, I think I have forwarded all of the places I know of where you might take your story. If I think of others I will forward them.
But, like my friends, I think I am signing off until you are willing to provide some evidence. I find your story quite credible--that is why I got involved to this point. But, credibility is not enough for me to continue. If you have a good reason to not cite evidence, say it. If not, I'm signing off. Over and out.
Ray
All right, I ain't going to waste too much mental firepower on supporting failure when I have a job to do, and I don't really care if y'all want to stay on the sidelines and call yourselves committed. Believe me, you sound and act just like the rest of the cowards. (You all sound the same to me, as I've said in no uncertain terms.) By the way, knock off the snide military stuff, like the “over and out” line. I’ve read email after email where you and your brethren attack the integrity and worth of US troops, and I’ve kept my mouth shut because I had a job to do that was bigger than the insult, but I’m not going to let you pretend to moral superiority when you just have lack of guts. You never served your country and you shouldn't mock it with what you don't know about. “Over and out” is nonsense that you and the prez learned watching TV. It doesn’t exist in the real Army. It’s very bad taste for you to spew GI talk when real GI’s, men and women less “committed” than you and yours are using real radios and real weapons in a real war.
Here’s how I read you: “I’m failing to do my duty and becoming a censor myself because, well, because Captain May lacks the kindness of manners that I insist on before I do my duty!” I’m giving you a special award for the most creative cowardice of the book. [Editor’s emphasis] In the close of your letter you admit that what I have to say – that the dead are desecrated and that the Constitution has crashed – is credible, then you whine about my rhetoric. You told me a couple of days ago that I should look out for assassins, and now you’re telling me to mind my manners. Damn, is that the kind of courage that made the Mennonites legendary? You kinda sound like a Pharisee, Ray. Ever heard of the difference between form and essence? Read your gospel, and get your priorities straight.
Before I dismiss you, I’ll give you due credit: You actually came up with one good piece of data (the Russian intelligence), and you gave me a good contact. Keep working for your country, and keep your manners in line, and don't give me any more bullshit about truth with a capital T. I've attached some heavy info that I've gotten hold of in real live work while you've been congratulating yourself for your kindness. Just sit back, read your bible and praise yourself and your yellow crowd. I've just bagged Bush, and it's no thanks to you. Sit in the seats and watch the Coliseum, good Christian. I’ll fight for the folks who are dying, even if it means revealing my bad manners.
The attached file is your evidence, Doubting Thomas. It shows that the Bush people conspired to squelch the op-ed I sneaked into their midst, “3/7 Cavalry, tragedy and travesty.” It’s today’s accomplishment, while you were pouting and puttering. I’ve said half a dozen times that my case is inferential, and if I had solid evidence, why on God's green earth would I share it with you guys? You're oblivious amateurs – don't you know that much? You know enough that what I’m saying is “credible” but you theologize about whether its worth “commitment.” How about you people of limited horizons just stick to doing some research to back up my stuff. Jesus, if I worried about everything you worry about, we’d be deep in tyranny and it would be time for the Mennonites to watch out again. Don’t worry, children, God has sent real men to protect you. Go play with yourselves. Out.
Captain May
PS: Don't ever call me Eric again. Don't write me back. I'll put your letters of mock courage and real cowardice – along with my analysis of your hypocrisy – in my book. Read it in hardback. You and yours are lukewarm, therefore spewed out of the mouth of Ghost Troop. Amen.
