Just Because
Rules for kicking ass
>
> Make sure you read #12
>
> 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 any adults 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. 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'. 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. '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 would kick
> your ass!
>
> 9. 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!
>
> 10. '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. Using them could get
> your ass kicked.
>
> 11. 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.
>
>
> 'It's the Veteran, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the
> press.'
>
> 'It's the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of
> speech.'
>
> 'It's the Veteran, not the community organizer, who gives us the freedom
> to demonstrate.'
>
> 'It's the Military 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.'
>
> AND ONE MORE:
>
> 12. If you ever see anyone either standing for or singing the national
> anthem in Spanish - KICK THEIR ASS!
>
