recent email, and my rebuttal

here's the text, and a picture i received in an email the other day. i guess because i'm a red meat eating crazy man, all my friends, family, and acquaintances deluge my inbox with stuff like this:

Read the following explanation before looking at the picture!

Most Syrians struggle to even read Arabic, much less have a clue about reading English.

So, how does a group of Syrian protest leaders create the most impact with their signs by having the standard 'Death To Americans'(etc.) slogans printed in English?

Answer:
They simply hire an English-speaking civilian to translate and write their statements into English.

Unfortunately,in this case, they were unaware that the 'civilian' insurance company employee hired for the job was a retired US Army Sergeant! Obviously, pictures of this protest rally never made their way to Arab TV networks, but the results were PRICELESS!

This picture is not doctored.

and my response is... PLEASE OBSERVE A FEW BASIC RULES BEFORE SENDING THIS GARBAGE TO MY INBOX. FIRST, does it really really make sense?? SECOND, take a few moments to check out to see if this is just another B.S. post some pinhead thought was funny, but you took seriously. this is a perfect example, and here my response
