This email, whether genuine or not, reminds me very much of my personal correspondence with check my ip. It has the same aggressive condescension towards someone for questioning authority, the same disregard for logical argument, and the same sprawling agrammatical style.
It is an endless source of personal frustration that people with the mindset demonstrated in this kind of writing achieve positions of immense power. This frustration seems pretty pointless though, as there's nothing I can do to change it. There are reasons why such people are in such positions, and the reasons why they shouldn't be involve abstract values that are meaningless to people who think only in terms of raw power.

Obviously the content of the email is depressingly offensive.
Apart from that, though, the English wanders so far from normal rules of sentence structure that it's really hard to work out what he's trying to say.
This bodes fairly disastrously for communicating with non-English speakers in Iraq, although I suppose that isn't a priority.
On the contrary. It's so important that we're making sure we don't gay it up
