This is what people from shithole countries really think of America :
Defense Secretary James Mattis shared a story recently with troops about how he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt while he was a Marine Corps general during the Iraq War.
The Associated Press reported that Mattis told soldiers and sailors about the incident during a series of pre-Christmas visits to military facilities in order to illustrate an important point about how America is viewed.
The retired four-star general recounted that a Sunni Arab man in western Iraq (Anbar Province) was caught planting a roadside bomb shortly before Mattis and a small group of Marines passed by.
Learning the man spoke English, Mattis decided he wanted to meet with him.
“After Mattis offered a cigarette and coffee, the man said he tried to kill the general and his fellow Marines because he resented the foreigner soldiers in his land,” according to the AP. “Mattis said he understood the sentiment but assured the insurgent he was headed for Abu Ghraib, the infamous U.S.-run prison.”
What the man wondered next surprised Mattis.
“General,” the Arab fighter asked, “if I am a model prisoner do you think someday I could emigrate to America?”
Mattis told the military service members he shared the story to show them “the power of America’s inspiration.” – READ MORE
