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 any adults 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 sacrifices
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 pi lot.. 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 kicked!
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 go
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. Using them 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 there
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
its ass kicked.'
'It's the Veteran, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the
press.' 'It's the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of
speech.' 'It's the Veteran, not the campus organizer, who gives us the
freedom to demonstrate.'
'It's 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.’ One more:
13. If you ever see anyone either standing for or singing the national
anthem in Spanish - KICK THEIR ASS
