Dear Civilians, food for thought...

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:

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 first hand 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 had 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 (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) 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 U.S. Coast Guard non military, inform them of their mistake...and kick their ass.

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 (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 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) Flyboy (Air Force), Jar Head (Marines), Grunt (Army), Squid (Navy), Puddle Pirate (Coast Guard), 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 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 ass 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."

Ahh yes, just like a Marine. Solve all problems with an ass kicking. While I support the thought behind this, I think the whole "kick their ass" thing is stupid.

Oh well, I hope things don't get worse.

He forgot "Bubblehead", a nickname for the submariner.

The irony in this post is simply amazing. I will not go into what makes letters/opinions like this piss me off so much for fear the idiotic gung-ho American lovers will flame me for no reason.

So does this mean that we can kick the asses of rap super-stars and the fanatic militia groups who wear camo?

Kick Ass!

God damn right. There's a couple of stupid protestors up here in Canada who seem to think that "we're not American, we can burn their flag to make a statement!"

Ass kickings are pending.

No, I didn't. I guess people interpreted 'idiotic gung-ho American' as simply patriotic. I mean it in the sense of extreme patriotism and all of the ignorance that goes along with that title (read: people who think that you need to risk your life for your country to prove your allegiance).

She certainly deserved one, but I think it would take an entire military division to kick that much...

I think that not going into what pisses you off about this letter opens you up to assumed generalities that will lead to you be flamed for no reason. Stating your grievances about said letter opens you up to be flamed with reason.

heh my Sister was dating a guy who claimed to be a Navy SEAL. at first i looked up to him (i was 15 and planned on joining the military) so i kept asking him stuff about BUDS, his swim buddy etc. Well we had his parents over for dinner (they were planning on getting married) and we found out he was never a SEAL let alone in the navy. His father was one of the original frogmen/SEALs. So he kept claiming to people that he was a member. Needless to say my sister dumped him. The members of my family take being in the Armed forces as something serious.
