Rules for the Non Military

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 an adult 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. (GUYS) 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,' and 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. 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 (CinC). The President (for those who didn't know) is our CinC 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. If you keep asking us the same stupid questions repeatedly, you will get your ass kicked!

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, could kick your ass!

10. 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!

11.'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. That could get your ass kicked.

12. 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 is the Veteran, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press.

'It is the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.

It is the Veteran, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.

'It is 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.'

(Please pass this on so I won't have to kick your ass!) :) 'If you can read this, thank a teacher' If you are reading it in English, thank a Veteran '

I will add one more:

13. If you ever see anyone either standing for or singing the national anthem in Spanish - KICK THEIR ASS.
 
'If you can read this, thank a teacher' If you are reading it in English, thank a Veteran '

Yep. Needn't ask that one. If they are pilots they are surely going to tell you. ;-)

I think I met one of these guys last year at the rifle range. He was wearing BDU pants a boonie hat, and a shirt that said something about sniper school on it. I walked down and hung a target with him and on the way asked where he went to sniper school. He answered which time, military or civilian, well that shut me up and I let him be.

45 minutes later I noticed he has shot approximately 30 rounds trying to zero a Savage tactical 308. I asked if he was having trouble with his scope and he replied he thought so. Having a lot of tools with me I removed it, checked the bases, reinstalled it centered the adjusting dials and cleaned the lenses. Then asked if he wanted to try it with a clean barrel and cleaned his rifle for him. After bore sighting it at the 300yd gong I had him fire for effect at said gong, made an adjustment and asked him to try it again. He hit the gong at 7 oclock an inch from the edge, another small adjustment and he hit the 10 in gong an inch high and top dead center at 300 yds He turns around looks at me and says darn I have never seen anything like that man ,where did you learn how to do that, in the military? I replied no, I was never in the military but, my shooting buddy is a retired Army shooting instructor, he taught me. I left him to reflect and, went home.
 
One other thought. My son is an Air Force vetern. When anyone asks him if he was a pilot, he just looks at them kinda weird and says do I look like the kind of guy that they would trust with an airplane. It always gets a laugh and no one is offended. If they continue to mess with him after that he just kicks their a$$.

Now by golly it sounds like the young man learnt good.

Not long after I was discharged I was driving down a country road and heard a very familiar screaming/roaring/monsterous noise coming from nowhere it seemed and about that time an F-4 Phamtom about sucked me off the pavement...then he turned it almost straight up and did a barrell roll and hauled ass. I almost lost it...already had my hand out the window ready to give him the ol' Hawaiian love sign and then just went to laughing. I figured he was laughing his ass off too as he made that mock straffing run on me. :lol2: :lol2:
