I don't think 3/25 is in Iraq at this time.
THat is pretty low. 3/25 is a reserve unit.

If they ever catch him, they should just save time and money and hand the scum bag over to the Marines.

Odds are it's someone in Nigeria or someplace equally beyond the reach of the US legal system.  Scams like this seem to be that country's #1 export.
