Marine Takes Charge

[SS]Blitz · 11-30-2005

Marines are always taught

1) Keep your priorities in order and

2) Know when to act without hesitation.

A Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He
had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the courses had
a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU. One day
he shocked the class when he came in, looked to the ceiling, and flatly
stated, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this
platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes." The lecture room fell silent.

You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor
proclaimed, "Here I am God. I'm still waiting." It got down to the last
couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the
professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform. The
professor was out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat there,
silently.

The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in
silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at
the Marine and asked, "What the hell is the matter with you? Why did you
do that?"

The Marine calmly replied, "God was too busy today protecting
America's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid crap and
act like an ass. So He sent me."

This never gets old. I've heard this numerous times, but everytime I see it again, I'm proud as hell to have earned the title.
