Rules for Kickin' Ass for the Non-Military

[Judy Harder]

 
Make sure you read #13 and the one after that...

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 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.

9. '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!

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.

12. 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.

Therefore, if you are a reporter, poet, or community organizer, YOU
deserve to get your ass kicked.

AND ONE MORE:

13. If you ever see anyone singing the national anthem in Spanish -
KICK THEIR ASS.

ONE LAST THING: If you got this email and didn't pass it on - guess
what - you deserve to get your ass kicked!

I sent this to you, Not because I didn't want to get my ass kicked
BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE VERY, VERY SPECIAL TO ME AND I KNOW YOU WILL NOT
BE OFFENDED AND ARE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN AND WILL FORWARD THIS
ALSO.
THANK YOU

WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE! IN GOD WE
TRUST

Good one and since the draft was stopped one can't assume that males of a certain age would know this any more.
