Ooh-rah, Devil Dog! Corporal Tyler Rock Has A Message For Reid
Corporal Tyler Rock, 1/6 Charlie Company, on the left, at my old home, Camp Hurricane Point, Ramadi.
Marine Corporal From A Bunker In Ramadi: “I Got A Message For That Douche Harry Reid”
This Email To Me, Harry, And America, Direct From A Grunt On The Front Lines Of Ramadi, Is Just Hours Old.
Today, from Corporal Tyler Rock in an outpost in downtown Ramadi. His first sentence is in response to an email from me:
“yeah i know how you feel. its going to be very weird leaving this place and going back to america. weve been here for almost an entire year and have lived in the center of it the whole time. its crazy that when we got here it was so hectic and now its calmed down so much. so it was awesome to be able to see that turn out.yeah news worth reporting…. well ramadi was once dubbed by everyone as the worst city in the world. but we have done such a great job here that all the families in the area have worked with us on driving out the insurgency and that we work directly with the IA and the IP’s. the city has been cleaned up so well that the IP’s do most of the patrols now and we go out with them to hand out candy and toys to the children. you can tell that the people want us here to protect them from the thugs and gangs (insurgents). granted they would rather have peace and quit but they know that if we arent here they will be thrown around by the insurgents. a good example is this one mission we did. long story short we got blown up in multiple buildings and had to run into a families house. i spent my christmas holidays covered in ash from the mortar fire and the IED’s, sleeping under a dirty rug i found in the house. everyone was sleeping way to close for comfort just to stay warm. anyways. a family was there and they obviously didnt want us there. atleast at first. the daughters were very sick so our corpsman treated them. they didnt have electricity so we got them a generator for power, they were cold so we got them gas heaters, we got them food and water and then we gave them $500. by the end of the week long visit with them we were drinking tea with them. when we left we cleaned their house better than it was when we got there. i even have pictures with the family. they told us that they liked marines and they would help us as much as they could and they gave us some information on the insurgents in the area. we ended up catching a HUGE target down the road from there house because of it.
yeah and i got a qoute for that douche harry reid. these families need us here. obviously he has never been in iraq. or atleast the area worth seeing. the parts where insurgency is rampant and the buildings are blown to pieces. we need to stay here and help rebuild. if iraq didnt want us here then why do we have IP’s voluntering everyday to rebuild their cities. and working directly with us too. same with the IA’s. it sucks that iraqi’s have more patriotism for a country that has turned to complete shit more than the people in america who drink starbucks everyday. we could leave this place and say we are sorry to the terrorists. and then we could wait for 3,000 more american civilians to die before we say “hey thats not nice” again. and the sad thing is after we WIN this war. people like him will say he was there for us the whole time.
and for messages back home. i have a wife back home who is going through a tough time. i just cant wait to be back home and see everyone. haha and i cant wait to go back home and get some starbucks. i love it when those people serve me. hahaha”

Why is it so difficult for the MSM to interview US combat troops? Instead of the hours of commentary and interviews and coverage of politicians and media "experts", how about at least a few minutes each day with some real troops just off patrol. It seems like it would be so easy to do.
But then, it might really be difficult to find a liberally biased trooper. The media is not reporting the truth. It is giving it's own biased commentary instead of the news.
Thank You Corporal Rock. For your service and your commentary.

My compliments to Corporal Tyler Rock. He is my kind of Man and Marine. Sounds to me like he should be Sgt or SSgt., at the least.
Sir, if you ever get around North Texas (Dallas), give me a call or e*mail. I want to meet you. So would all of my prior service Marine friends. Wild Thing - or somebody - please make sure the Corporal gets this post. Thanks. Semper Fi, Old SSgt Gaston, USMC.

Corporal Rock. Thank you, thank you for your service to our country and your fellow Marines, above all thank your wife and family for the privations they endure. Your commentary was a wonderful breath of fresh air.
You are so right about Harry Reid, Searchlight, Nevada is such a long way from Iraq, his vast fighting experience has precluded his ability to as they say "put boots on the ground" but he did serve as a policeman at the capital so he's emminently qualified to talk his military strategy. You know, things he learned as a boy growing up in a rustic cabin without indoor plumbing. sorta reminds me of honest Abe I don't know whether to puke or tear up. Reid is such a dishonest jerk.
Thanks WT for sharing this with us.

Can't get it any straighter than that!!
Harry Reid is a fake, a sham, a charlatan, a snake oil salesman.
That he even speaks the words "we support the troops" is blasphemy.
That he and Pelosi and Murtha and Kerry still hold seats in Congress is a tragedy for this country.

Way to go CPL Rock! I have said much like this to idiots who would rather believe what the enemy says than what our own troops say. Knowing that there are people like you who defend our way of life makes me realize that this nation will never be beaten! Go USMC! Go Navy!
