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 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 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 kicked!
9.
'Your mama
wears combat boots' never made sense to me---stop saying it! If she did, she would most likely be a
veteran 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.
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 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 it's ass kicked.
Remember:
·
"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, which 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."
