Rules for the Non-Military. ( Make sure you read # 13 )

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. (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. 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, or if you are military or retired military you may now salute
the flag when not in uniform. 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. Using them 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'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.

*AND ONE MORE:

13. If you EVER see anyone either standing for or singing the national
anthem in Spanish - KICK THEIR ASS.
