leatherneck Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 My little brother who is a Marine serving in Okinawa Japan right now sent me this. I had to change some words, you all know how we Marines can use some rough language Any way I think you will get the point, I loved it Semper Fi 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 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 butt. (2) When you witness, firsthand, someone burning the American Flag in protest---kick their butt. (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 butt. (4) (GUYS) If you were never in the military, DO NOT pretend that you were. Wearing battle dress uniforms (BDUs), 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 butt 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. The next time you come across a Marine do not ask him "how many men he has killed" for not every Marine has seen battle. Such ignorance deserves an butt-kicking (children are exempt). (6) If you witness someone calling the US Coast Guard 'non-military', inform them of their mistake---and kick their butt. (7) Next time Old Glory (the US flag) prances by during a parade, get on your damg 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 butt-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 (C in C). The President (for those who didn't know) is our C in C 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 butt 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 butt! (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 dang psychic phone numbers, let me know, so I can go kick their butt. (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 butt 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 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 butt 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." (Please pass this on so I won't have to kick your butt!) "If you can read this, thank a teacher" "If you are reading it in English, thank a veteran."

[/ QUOTE ] At least one of the siblings is serving on active duty. I believe the other has dropped to the IRR hasn't he I have seen them before but I love it. Number 1 is the worst. The last hockey game I went too, this big fat slob of a lady was eating her ice cream during the anthem and then laughed about it. I wanted to punch her sqare in the face and send her and her family to South America or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtBowhunter Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Re: New military rules (funny) I went to the home coming football game at the high school I went to and all the kids were screwing around while the anthem was playing......when it was over, I walked over and let 'em have it......After a couple minutes I had a group of former service there behind me screaming at these punks.

Master_Chief Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Re: New military rules (funny) It is very hard not to come unglued on some people. My wife keeps telling me, One of these days one of those punks is gonna pull a gun on you. He better be a good shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never heard of such a thing. Once you are IRR, you are done unless of course they are calling you back to go fight the bad guys. Besides that, he hasn't the foggiest idea why you would be required to muster being in the IRR. Thought I would let you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
