Rules for the non-miltary

I felt this was relevant considering recent instances of fraudulent claims at military service.

Found it on BreachBangClear (blog) and wanted to share.
The original author is unknown.

This may have been shared on Airsoft Allies in the past, but I have not found it...so here it goes.

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 "Watch your language" 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 "Watch your language" 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 Don't use the Lord's name in vain. for our military and the sacrifices they make every day. Without them, our Country would get it's ass kicked.


Until all come home.

Matt's story:
It was the beginning of the first Gulf War when I witnessed a group of people lighting up our flag. A kid across the street broke into a run and hit the first of the demonstrators as he plowed into the group. (10-15 people) He stomped out the flag, threw it over his neck and fought his way out. On the other side of the street, where I was standing were also two Uniformed Police Officers. The kid ran down the street a bit, then stopped and turned back to the cops as if to turn himself in.
As if all of this wasn't enough - the first of the two officers turned around and looked up at the building, as if he didn't see anything. The second one made a small golf clap at the kid before turning at looking at the same building. Meanwhile the protesters cried and whined about being assaulted.

Ive seen this before actually on here...i think Slob brought it up in a thread last year. Still informal....

yeah when I was in HS we did the pledge every morning, out of 27 students 3 of us stood for the pledge..and im not even a Citizen but ill be dammed if I show disrespect to the flag of any sovereign nation.

Yeah I just wish someone would adress former service men/woman (not veterans since they will get dishonor discharge) that fake comabt experiance/awards in order to get freebies, I think the most recent was a Marine that was stationed in Hawaii his whole career, claimed combat experiance and several medals in order to get free tickets to concerts, NFL, MLB and various others. In my opinion those are the second lowest forms of life..next to fear mongers.

#4 - Isn't that against airsoft? But you could argue that we are merely reenacting, not dishonoring them by saying that we are really military personnel (Bennett *cough*). I would make a more lengthy post, but my computer is really screwy today....

I think Slob posted that a few months back, but it's always good to have within easy finding.

That story is very inspireing I think and tells a great message..

In my math class, there's a bunch of mexican "gangsters", you know, the half pint ones. They think they're too "gangsta" to stand up during the Pledge of Allegiance. I have changed that, haha. They now know exactly what the bottom of my boot looks like (and if they forget, I will gladly show them once more)

wearing boots in school is standard issue in Maine...


im glad i live in the country....call me a hick and you'll loose your di*k....lol


but #4 is a little fuzzy.....

You attack Wanksters for the Respect of our Flag?

Yeah if you run around in public in a uniform..eh not good idea, but if you have a reason (JROTC, ROTC ect) it's ok I think..and for Airsoft your at he field..if your going into public dressed up your a idiot and deserve whats coming

no one in my area does...or would but if i saw some meat head burning it i would kick their ass with no hesitation.

and Zane thanks for the clarification.

It pisses me off when little mexican half pints who think they're Godd don't even stand up during the Pledge of Allegiance. I'd stand up if they were playing their national anthem. It's just a matter of respect.

It's also a matter of law..many of you don't know this but if your in the Armed forces you are required to stand at attention at the playing of any allied nations anthen or raising of thier flag out of respect. (Notice the allied part)

exactly.....your in our country because were not a$$holes who just stop letting Mexicans in because we don't like you. So we give you a place to live (and well-fare some times) and you don't stand up for OUR (YOUR) flag. i got one word. well 2. DEPORTATION BITCHE$!!!!

end rant. i need to get my whole school to read these. nice right up durkee!

If they can even read English at all they probly wouldnt follow these rules..

And besides, it's not like I beat the holy hellfire out of them, I just kick 'em out of their chairs, haha. They're pretty "gangsta" when somebody five times their size kicks them out of their chair

(remember, we're talking about the little ones we have to call "paragraph" because they're too short to be an ese)

haha thats a good one.....

yeah it bugs me when people don't apperciate what this country does for them. i mean we don't have to best country it kinda suck right now, but look at all the hope it brings people.

also don't ask don't tell bugs me to, honestly if a homosexul wants to fight for the country let them at least they have more respect then ''gangstas''

because DADO is screwed up each branch wants to get rid of 800 service men and women a year. and all the pay they got will be cut in half and all sorts of crap.

I don't know if it is still a problem..but our SAI told us when he was in the army those who admitted they were homosexual ended up beaten to a pulp and or dead...but it will probly be repealed since Mullen(sp) wants it gone

but the coast guard isn't necessarily considered military.... go ahead. try and kick me ass haha

I'll be there tonight, it is military and I will, just as soon as I can get to sandy eggo

Lol what?!?!?

The U.S. Coast Guard is one of five branches of the US Armed Forces, and falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

It's the nation's oldest continuous seagoing service with responsibilities including Search and Rescue (SAR), Maritime Law Enforcement (MLE), Aids to Navigation (ATON), Ice Breaking, Environmental Protection, Port Security and Military Readiness.

They are most certainly military.

Interdiction operations (drug boats, etc) as well. Unless that falls under MLE?

Cool show on the Military Channel about this. In the helicopter they had: a mounted M60 MG, a Barrett M107 with an EoTech holo sight, two M14 EBRs, and probably 8 extra mags for the M107 in those standard 500 rd ammo crates (the best ever, I have one!). Actually, I think it was "Modern Sniper."

Yessur, that does fall under MLE and Port Security (when in coastal waters).

As for the show you're refering to, it was either Top Sniper or that one about the Somalian pirate hostage thing...about the navy seal snipers that took out the basterds

i meant they are not as military ish as the other branches and they try to make up for it by being "uber military" i know what im talking about. my dad is navy and former marine and he worked with the coast guard a few times
