    Please don't take this as an attack, Julia, but I have to ask.

    Does your son appreciate that what he did/is doing could easily get him, and you for that matter, jailed or even executed for treason in many other countries?  That it could be held against him for life in jobs, housing, government services?  Have you had him watch the video when people stood up like that in Tianamen Square?

1. The next time you see an adult talking (or wearing a hat) during the playing of the National Anthem---kick their ass.
I talk and wear a hat whilst the national anthem plays - hell id have sex thru it if it wasnt for public decency. Its a bit of music ffs.

2. When you witness, firsthand, someone burning the American Flag in protest---kick their ass.
Nah id just ask them to clean the mess left after.

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.
Possibly but there again respect where respect is due !!

4. (GUYS) 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," and 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.
I quite like the idea of that scenario lol.

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).
What if they do fly a jet - reasonable question then dont ya think?


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.
Nah just not happening - hand on heart and standing - its a piece of cloth ffs.

8. 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.  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!
I'll discuss politics with whom i choose.


I will add one more:

If you ever see anyone either standing for or singing the national anthem in Spanish - KICK THEIR ASS!
Does that include the national anthem of spain cos funnily enough its in spanish. America is not the only country with a national anthem you know.
 
And last but no way least - shame on you for trying to pass yourself off as a vet. Does that mean you need your ass kicking?

Rules for the Non Military (From a Veteran)

1. The next time you see an adult talking (or wearing a hat) during the playing of the National Anthem---kick their ass.
-talk but you miss a great song that was conducted at the end of a war that gave america the right to burn flags and speak our minds. 

2. When you witness, firsthand, someone burning the American Flag in protest---kick their ass.
-yes it's cloth...but for what that cloth represents, there are generations that died for what it represents. (even if present wars aren't for the same thing, there were wars that did.)


4. (GUYS) 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," and 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.
- Do you know how silly someone looks when doing this...LMAO...it always makes me think their education level is grade school.

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).
- This one was hillarious too. And trust me, I don't know how many times i have been asked that!

6. If you witness someone calling the US Coast Guard 'non-military', inform them of their mistake---and kick their ass.
- do you know how many people don't know that the guards are the first to be deployed during a war time, or that they are the ones that had been the first to help after 9/11. but it really is funny to hear people say this too.

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.
-doop! i don't know how many times at a parade i forgot to do that. i was trained that i am that flag while active duty and that i was to stand at attention.

8. 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.  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!
- please i don't know a vet who doesn't talk about politics...in fact this Vet is talking about politics in writing this thing.

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, could kick your ass!
-come on guys...this is fucking funny! it is just joking about a stupid statement.


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.  That could get your ass kicked.
- Vets have an internal jabbing of who is the better branch. It does sound weird when we hear civilians speak our terms. But those term discribe well what their jobs are during war, and are only joked about with the greatest respect.

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."
- Seriously...it is the hardest thing being away during the holidays so support them...just not the war.

"It is the Veteran, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press.

"It is the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.

It is the Veteran, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.

"It is 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."


I will add one more:

If you ever see anyone either standing for or singing the national anthem in Spanish - KICK THEIR ASS!
- What?...If we all desented from the England i would say that is fine...but we don't. We are a beautiful mix of many nations who came here in hope of a new life with better values. If we don't like what we see rignt now, then we need to come together and find solutions. Tearing each other apart will not accomplish this. If anything, this just gives more power to those who are running the country.

I don't have to think about that at all Sir because if you can give birth to four 8 pound + sons in five years (2 children of which are only 11 months apart), have hypothyroidism and type 2 diabetes along with a condition that causes immense pain in your heals and STILL be physically fit...give me a call.....I am happy with who I am and so is my Dom..and that is all that matters.......ignorance and racism is the biggest problem we face in the U.S.. how about you think about that son?

ORIGINAL: KenDckey

I am a military retiree.   I don't agree with the rules.  I don't think we should kick their asses.   I am disappointed when I see these things.   I am upset by them.   I hate them.   But I would die defending their right to do them.

I have been called a babykiller.   I have been shot at in my home in Oakland because I wore the uniform.  I have been thrown out of places of business because of my haircut and the way I walk.  And only once did I retaliate (when they beat up one of my soldiers for being military)   I won't tell you what I did but my troops felt a whole lot better about it.

I cry at the National Anthem.   I cry at taps.  I cry when Lee Greenwood sings "God Bless the USA"  (btw   his niece - a military retiree and friend - just died)   I cry at patriotic celebrations.   I cry when the flag passes.   I get really pissed when it is degraded.

I believe in the objectives of our republic.   I don't always agree with those appointed - by the people - over me.   But I will follow all lawful orders.   I would sacrafice my children (4), grandchildren (11) and great grand children (10) supporting those objectives because they serve the people of our country.

Like Viet Nam, the congress gave the President the authority to go fight battles whereever in the world in the name of our repbulic.   The congress was elected by the people, thus through extension, the people granted the President the power.  The role of the soldier is then to support the public will.   He doesn't have to agree.   He doesn't have to like it.   But he has to follow it.  That is his job.

If the people don't like it, they have a constitutional obligation to change it.   The best way to do that, I believe, is to run for political office.  Protest and shows of dissatisfaction are basically meaningless and are selfserving.  Running for political office, is meaningful and productive - win or lose - because you did someting proactive.
