Rules for the Nonmilitary

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. 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.

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.. 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.0D


'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.'


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

IN GOD WE TRUST

To add a few serious ones that bother me whenever I get them:

13: DO NOT EVER ask a Vet if he has killed anybody. That's like the equivalent of asking a woman "So..How many abortions have YOU had?". It's severely inapporopriate and deserving of a brutal, face destroying, ass kicking.

14: Unless you couldn't serve for medical reasons, DO NOT tell a service member "Ya know, I could never do what you do, but rest assured, if we were invaded, I'd be there in the foxhole right next to ya" :rolleyes: Yeah, sure you would. If you were that patriotic, you would have joined. Get off my pedestal and go back to being a "normal". Don't compare yourself with me if you haven't served.

15: DO NOT feign sympathy or pity for someone that's served in Iraq/A'stan or other wars. WE HATE hearing "So you served in *insert war here*? Wow, that sucks. Sorry you had to do that. I feel bad for ya". <this one really burns me

Great thread nasty!

16. Do not ask if we have jumped from an airplane. Not all servicemembers are airborne.

This one really gets my blood boiling. Nice addition Mick. Great one Eric and nice additions Mick. Mel I do believe you had the hardest job mentally of anyone, I know I would think of home but not every minute of every day, I cannot imagine being a Parent of someone deployed to a combat zone. I really don't think I could handle it.

This is a hard one...I personally wouldnot say anything but change the subject.....take her out to a real nice dinner on the other side of town..preferable an hour away...excuse your self to go use the bathroom....and then leave her there with the check and no ride home.

Bitch should not ask that. If you want to talk about it you will but not to her.

I try to make them feel uncomfortable by staring at them or telling them "don't ever ask me that again." I've walked away from someone before too. It usually makes them feel uncomfortable, and I'm glad it seems to work. Civilians should think before they speak.
