Dear Civilians, We know
that the current state of affairs in our great nation have 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 we would like your assistance with:
1. The next time you
see an adult talking 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. If you were never
in the military, DO NOT pretend that you were. Wearing battle
dress uniforms (BDU's), telling others that you used to be "Special
Forces," and collecting GI Joe memorabilia, might have been
okay if you were still seven. Now, it will only make you look
stupid and get your ass kicked.
5. If you witness someone
calling an enlisted Marine "Sir," stand back...a Marine
will kick their ass.
6. 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 kickin' (children are exempt).
7. Roseanne Barr's singing
of the National Anthem is not a blooper...it was a disgrace and
disrespectful. Laugh, and sooner or later your ass will be kicked.
8. Next time Old Glory
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.
9. What Jane Fonda did
during the Vietnam War makes her the enemy. The proper word to
describe her is "traitor." Just mention her nomination
for "Woman of the Year" and get your ass kicked..
10. 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. The
President(for those who didn't know) is our CIC 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. The military member might direct you to Oliver North.
(I can see him kicking your ass already.)
11. "Your mama wears
combat boots" never made sense to me... stop saying it! If
she did, she would most likely be a vet and probably kick your
ass!
12. Bin Laden and the
Taliban are not communists, so stop saying "Let's go kill
those Commie's!!!" 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.
13. Bus Driver, Jar Head,
Grunt, Swabbie, Squid, 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 & could get your ass kicked.
14. 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 troops overseas 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.
Thanks,
Gene
