Rules for the Non Military
Dear Civilians, "We know that the current state of affairs
in our great nation has many civilians up in arms and
excited to join the military. For those of you who can't
join, you can still lend a hand. Here are a few of the areas
where we would like your assistance:
1. The next time you see an adult talking (or wearing a
hat) during the playing of the National Anthem---kick their
ass.
2. When you witness, firsthand, someone burning the American
Flag in protest---kick their ass.
3. Regardless of the rank they held while they served, pay
the highest amount of respect to all veterans. If you see
anyone doing otherwise, quietly pull them aside and explain
how these veterans fought for the very freedom they bask in
every second. Enlighten them on the many s acrifices these
veterans made to make this Nation great. Then hold them down
while a disabled veteran kicks their ass.
4. (GUYS) If you were never in the military, DO NOT pretend
that you were. Wearing battle dress uniforms (BDUs) or
Jungle Fatigues, telling others that you used to be "Special
Forces," and collecting GI Joe memorabilia, might have been
okay when you were seven years old. Now, it will only make
you look stupid and get your ass kicked.
5. Next time you come across an Air Force member, do not ask
them, "Do you fly a jet?" Not everyone in the Air Force is a
pilot. Such ignorance deserves an ass-kicking (children are
exempt).
6. If you witness someone calling the US Coast Guard
'non-military', inform them of their mistake---and kick
their ass.
7. Next time Old Glory (the US flag) prances by during a
parade, get on your damn feet and pay homage to her by
placing your hand over your heart. Quietly thank the
military member or veteran lucky enough to be carrying
her---of course, failure to do either of those could earn
you a severe ass-kicking.
8. Don't try to discuss politics with a military member or a
veteran. We are Americans, and we all bleed the same,
regardless of our party affiliation. Our Chain of Command is
to include our Commander-In-Chief (CinC). The President (for
those who didn't know) is our CinC regardless of political
party. We have no inside track on what happens inside those
big important buildings where all those representatives
meet. All we know is that when those civilian
representatives screw up the situation, they call upon the
military to go straighten it out. If you keep asking us the
same stupid questions repeatedly, you will get your ass ki
cked!
9. 'Your mama wears combat boots' never made sense to
me---stop saying it! If she did, she would most likely be a
vet and therefore, could kick your ass!
10. Bin Laden and the Taliban are not Communists, so stop
saying 'Let's g o kill those Commies!' And stop asking us
where he is! Crystal balls are not standard issue in the
military. That reminds me---if you see anyone calling those
damn psychic phone numbers, let me know, so I can go kick
their ass!
11. 'Flyboy' (Air Force), 'Jarhead' (Marines), 'Grunt'
(Army), 'Squid' (Navy), 'Puddle Jumpers' (Coast Guard), etc.
, are terms of endearment we use describing each other.
Unless you are a service member or vet, you have not earned
the right to use them. That could get your ass kicked.
12. Last, but not least, whether or not you become a member
of the military, support our troops and their families.
Every Thanksgiving and religious holiday that you enjoy with
family and friends, please remember that the re are
literally thousands of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen
far from home wishing they could be with their families.
Thank God for our military and the sacrifices they make
every day.Without them, our country would get it's ass
kicked." < BR> "It is the Veteran, not the reporter who has
given us the freedom of the press.
"It is the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us the
freedom of speech.
It is the Veteran, not the campus organizer, who gives us
the freedom to demonstrate.
"It is the Military who salutes the flag, who serves beneath
the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows
the protester to burn the flag."
(Please pass this on so I won't have to kick your ass!) :-)
"If you can read this, thank a teacher" If you are reading
it in English, thank a Veteran "
I will add one more:
13. If you ever see anyone either standing for or singing
the national anthem in Spanish - KICK THEIR ASS
