This is my personal view and comments on the issues and events that I feel a need to talk about or express my view. You don't have to agree, but lets carry on a adult, discussion and maybe you will see it the right way, mine. ;)
or else...:)

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 requiring your assistance:

1. The next time you see an adult talking (or wearing a hat) during the
playing of the National Anthem ... kick their butt.

2. When you witness firsthand someone burning the American Flag in protest
.. kick their butt.

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 butt.

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
butt 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 butt kicking (children are exempt).

6. If you witness someone calling the U.S. Coast Guard non military, inform
them of their mistake ... and kick their butt.

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 butt will
be kicked.

8. Next time Old Glory (U.S. 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 butt
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 butt 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 butt
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 therefore, could kick
your butt!

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 butt.

13. Flyboy (Air Force), Jar Head (Marines), Grunt (Army), Squid (Navy)
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 butt 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 butt 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."

Please listen so I won't have to kick your butt!


I got this from a friend of mine who also was in the service. Read it so I won't have to kick your butt..
