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:
<http://fellowshipofminds.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/penguins-2.gif>
Any Questions?
1. The next time you see any adults talking (or wearing a hat) during the
playing of the National
Anthem<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Dress_Uniform>)
or Jungle Fatigues, telling others that you used to be 'Special Forces'.
Collecting GI Joe <http://www.gijoe.com/> 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 <http://twitter.com/usairforce>*
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<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Coast_Guard>*
'non-military', inform them of their mistake - and kick their ass.
7. Next time Old Glory <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Glory> (the
US flag<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_United_States>)
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<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_starships_in_Stargate>'
(*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 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 <http://www.break.com/c/military-videos/> 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:
13. If you ever see anyone singing the national anthem in Spanish - KICK
THEIR ASS
