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 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 a--.
2) When you witness firsthand someone burning the American Flag in protest... kick their a--.
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 a--.
4) (GUYS) 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 a-- 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 a-- kicking. (Children are exempt).
6) If you witness someone calling the US Coast Guard non military,
inform them of their mistake...and kick their a--.
7) Roseanne Barr's singing of the National Anthem is not a
blooper...it was a disgrace and disrespectful. Laugh when you hear it, and sooner or later your a-- will be kicked.
8) Next time Old Glory (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 a-- 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 a-- 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 looking 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 a Viet Nam Veteran (I can see him kicking your a-- already.)
11) "Your mama wears combat boots" never made senses to me ... stop saying it! If she did, she would most likely be a veteran and
therefore, could kick your a--!
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 a--.
13) Flyboy (Air Force), Jar Head (Marines), Grunt (Army), Squid
(Navy) Coastie (Coast Guard) etc, are terms of endearment we use describing each other. Unless you are a service member or veteran, you have not earned the right to use them. That could get your a-- 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
sailors and troops 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 a-- kicked.
- It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom
of the press.
- It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of
speech.
- It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the
freedom to demonstrate.
- It is the soldier 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.
