Military Respect!

Subject: MILITARY RESPECT


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 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
(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
nonmilitary, 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
therefore, could 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) 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.

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.

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.
