Me and My Shadows

 

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. 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.  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. '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!

9. 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!
 
10. '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.
 
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. 
 
 
'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:
 
12.  If you ever see anyone either standing for or singing the  national anthem in Spanish - KICK THEIR  ASS!
 
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
