Rules for kickin’ ass

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 any adults talking (or wearing a hat) during the
    playing of the National Anthem - kick their ass.
  1. When you witness, firsthand, someone burning the American Flag in
    protest - kick their ass.
  1. 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) 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.

  1. 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).
  1. If you witness someone calling the US Coast Guard ‘non-military’,
    inform them of their mistake - and kick their ass.
  1. Next time Old Glory (the US flag) passes 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.
  1. Don’t try to discuss politics with a military member or 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…
  1. ‘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!
  1. 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!
  1. ‘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.
  1. 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 its 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.’

ONE LAST THING:
If you got this email and didn’t pass it on - ! guess what - you deserve
to get your ass kicked!

I sent this to you, because I didn’t want to get my ass kicked.

/AND/ because I really liked the message it sends!

*WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!

IN GOD WE TRUST*

Great list. God bless the troops.

I really liked that LCB. Actually i really like most of your posts thanks. Non military here but I give the utmost respect to anyone who has/is serving for our country.

4

I once told a veteran Marine that my brother holds a high rank in the military. He asked what branch. I told him Coast Guard. He replied. “Coast Guard is not military. They’re police.”

Hmm.

5

I remember reading somewhere that a soldier and his buddys were sick of random folks coming up to them and saying thank-you, we stand by you etc. They hated it. Curious to know if the OP has friends in the military who feel this way.

very good post!

me and kheaslim grew up in petawawa, its the second largest military base in canada.

most people have no idea what military families are going through. kids we went to highschool with are being killed and leaving young families behind. very sad.

i feel guilty about owning a pairs of camo trousers now :frowning: but theyre so usefull for work! 6 pockets man!

8

I have never read so much bullshit and excessive patriotism combined, in my entire life combined. I wonder how many boners the guy got while writing this.

9

Hoorah and fuck the Dutch bastard in the last post.

10

I’m not american but appreciate the work they do not only for the USA but for freedom everywhere.

11

Bravo and I concur with kicking the ass of the Dutch bastard.

i do not fully agree with it, but read it and think about it

To the simple man ( Do prostego człowieka - Wikipedia )

When every wall is hid by many
new posters freshly pasted up,
when “to the people”, “to the Army”,
in black print stare appeals alarming,
and any dolt, and any pup
will take for gospel each old lie
that one should go and shoot off guns
and murder, poison, rob, at once;
start drumming into all our noggins
the “Fatherland”; the mob incite,
bamboozle with bright-coloured slogans,
egg on with “Our historic right”,
“every inch”, “glory”, “sacred borders”,
with “our forebears”, “pay the price”,
with “heroes”, “flag” and “sacrifice”;
when bishop, pastor, rabbi come
to say a blessing on each gun,
for God has told them, that His will
is that for Country you should kill;
when gutter tabloid screams and rages
in letters huge on its front pages,
and herds of females lose their voice
throwing bouquets at “our brave boys”,
O, my untutored simple friend,
mate from this land, or other land!
Know that the bells for these alarums
kings strike, with girls with ample charms,
Know it’s all hogwash, lies perverted,
And when these call out: “Shoulder arms!”
That somewhere from the ground oil spurted,
With dollars soiling the bright colours;
That in their banks there’s something rotten,
They smelled some moneybags, it looks,
Or cooked some scheme, the oily crooks,
For higher import tax for cotton.
Drum on the pavement with your gun!
Ours the blood, the oil is theirs!
And through each capital and town
Scream out, to guard your cash blood-won:
“Tell us another, noble sirs!”.

i understand that war sometimes IS the answer, but give me a break with the “god, honour, country”. i’ll fight for freedom (preferably my own) when it’s threatened, but the reasons better be good.

The good old days - when commis were all you had to kill to fix every problem.

14

You, Mr Scotland and Mr Holland, may kindly shut your mouths. Those of us serving don’t give a flying fuck about people with those opinions. You go put your life on the line for a cause, then see how it feels when someone belittles it as if they know what the fuck they’re talking about.

novocaine you obviously have no idea what the hell being in the military is all about, or you wouldn’t have wasted bandwidth posting that ridiculous “poem”.

Caveman you’re all good, as I highly doubt you are posing as a member of the military. The trousers most likely aren’t even current military issue. What OP was referring to is assholes who make up war stories and bullshit they never did, stealing honor from the people that had the balls to do that shit.

LCB good post.

Oorah devils.

Thanks ff, I’m lad you like it.
I’m also non-military, although I’m in Iraq as a contractor right now. God bless our troops and may they be kept safe, and may every bullet miss them, and may ever round pierce the hearts of those against us.

Bless our Coast Guard too.
