THE MARINE:

Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, Cokie Roberts, and a tough old U.S. Marine
Sergeant were all captured by terrorists in Iraq. The leader of the
terrorists told them that he would grant them each one last request before
they were beheaded.

Dan Rather said, "Well, I'm a Texan; so I'd like one last bowl full of
hot spicy chili." The leader nodded to an underling who left and returned
with the chili. Rather ate it all and said, "Now I can die content."

Peter Jennings said, "I am Canadian, so I'd like to hear the song "O
Canada" one last time." The leader nodded to a terrorist who had studied
the Western world and knew the music. He returned with some rag-tag
Musicians and played the anthem. Jennings sighed and declared he could now
die peacefully.

Cokie Roberts said, "I'm a reporter to the end. I want to take out my
tape recorder and describe the scene here and what's about to happen.
Maybe someday someone will hear it and know that I was on the job till the
end." The leader directed an aide to hand over the tape recorder and
Roberts dictated some comments. She then said, "Now I can die happy."

The leader turned and said, "And now, Mr. U.S. Marine, what is your
final wish?" "Kick me in the ass," said the Marine. "What?" asked the
leader "Will you mock us in your last hour?" "No, I'm not kidding. I want
you to kick me in the ass," insisted the Marine. So the leader shoved him
into the open, and kicked him in the ass. The Marine went sprawling, but
rolled to his knees, pulled a 9 mm pistol from inside his cammies, and
shot the leader dead. In the resulting confusion, he leapt to his
knapsack, pulled out his M4 carbine and sprayed the Iraqis with gunfire.
In a flash, all the Iraqis were either dead or fleeing for their lives.

As the Marine was untying Rather, Jennings, and Roberts, they asked
him, "Why didn't you just shoot them in the beginning? Why did you ask
them to kick you in the ass first?"

"What," replied the Marine, "and have you three assholes report that I was the aggressor?"

Great! I knew some Marine sargents that were tough as nails, and probably saved my skinny little ass several times I didn't even know about. I was Air Farce radar specalist, and didn't know sh*t, but had almost enough sense to know it.

But it has a ring of truth. We condem people that we feel that go too far in defending us. Rape and murder? NO! But don't condem a man for trying to do his job, and DON'T tie his hands so he can't do it.

I can agree with that.
