MILITARY RULES for NON-MILITARY PERSONNEL

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. The Military suggests these few areas in which your assistance will be helpful:

1. The next time you see an adult talking during the playing of the National Anthem ... kick their butt.

2. When you witness firsthand someone burning the American Flag in protest
... kick their butt.

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 butt.

4. If you were never in the military, DO NOT pretend that you were. Wearing battle dress uniforms (BDU's), telling others that you used to be "Special Forces," and collecting GI Joe memorabilia, might have been okay if you were still seven. Now, it will only make you look stupid and get you’re butt kicked.

5. If you witness someone calling an enlisted Marine "Sir," stand back ... a Marine will kick their butt.

6. 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 butt kicking (children are exempt).

7. Roseanne Barr's singing of the National Anthem is not a blooper ... it was a disgrace and disrespectful. Laugh, and sooner or later you’re butt will be kicked.

8. Next time Old Glory 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 butt kicking.

9. What Jane Fonda did during the Vietnam War makes her the enemy. The proper word to describe her is "traitor." Just mention her nomination for "Woman of the Year" and get you’re butt kicked.

10. 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 includes our commander in Chief. The President (for those who didn't know) is our CIC 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. The military member might direct you to Oliver North. (I can see him kicking you’re butt already.)


11. "Your mama wears combat boots" never made sense to me ... stop saying it! If she did, she would most likely be a vet and probably kick you’re butt!

12. Bin Laden and the Taliban are not communists, so stop saying "Let's go kill those Commie's!!!" 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 butt.

13. Bus Driver, Jar Head, Grunt, Swabbie, Squid, 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 & could get you’re butt kicked.

14. Last but not least, whether or not you become a member of the military, support our troops and their families. Every Thanksgiving & religious holiday that you enjoy with family and friends please remember that there are, literally, thousands of troops overseas 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

I still have a Jane Fonda Urinal Sticker that the VFW had made up a long time ago.

I loved that email.... It's been floating around the military email system for a while now.... Go whoop some a$$ civilians... And do piss on jane....
 
We don't use the M60 anymore.. Now we use the 240G. It's about the same... 7.62 recoil operated, full auto...... It's pretty sweet.... You can grease troops and trucks in the same sweep... Nice piece of gear.. A bit heavy though.

Yeah we are still using the 5.56mm M249 SAW.

The M2HB .50 is getting phased out... well at least on trucks and tanks... We just got a new one... I cant remember the name though..
