Dear Mr. President,
You have used your war making powers without much regard for
the laws of our land up to this point.
You are not alone in this course of action. Your predecessors have done this for half a
century.
Realize this: Now is
not the occasion to suddenly decide it is time for a protracted discussion on what
to do next with regard to ISIS and other terrorist groups that threaten our
American service men and women.
ISIS is closing in on 320 United States Marines. What you do is send everything within your
command to support them. The end state
of this engagement is dead enemy terrorists.
Period.
Discuss the merits of whether these people have engaged in
ruthless killings because they don’t have jobs, want to revisit the crusades,
or because they thrive on evil (most of us know this is the answer) at your
leisure after you send everything that turns beating hearts into bleeding ones
and put it on target.
We know where these armed extremists are. Put rounds on target.
If it looks like it’s going to be a fair fight, then our
Commander in Chief needs to be tried for treason. We engage our enemies with everything we
have. The world may or may not respect
us for the many humanitarian missions that we conduct, but our enemies must
fear us.
Our enemies must fear us!
Inaction on your part is an invitation to attack when and
where they please. The greatest armed forces
in the world have no commander in chief.
It is time to get this part of you presidency right. Be the commander in chief and destroy the
enemies that believe you don’t have the backbone for combat leadership.
Semper Fidelis,
Thomas R. Spence
Major, U.S. Marine Corps (Retired)
