Marines and God

[bubbakat]

A Marine was attending a college course between missions in Iraq and<br />Afghanistan. The professor, an avowed atheist, shocked the class one<br />day when he walked in, looked toward the ceiling, and said loudly, <br />"God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll<br />give you exactly 15 minutes." <br /><br />The lecture room fell silent and the professor began his lecture. <br /><br />Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God - <br />still waiting." <br /><br />It got down to the last minute when the Marine stood up, walked toward<br />the professor and threw his best punch knocking him off the platform <br />and out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat down. The other<br />students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence. <br /><br />The professor came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and<br />asked, "What is the matter with you? Why did you do that?" <br /><br />The Marine calmly replied, "God is busy today protecting America's<br />soldiers who are protecting your right to behave like an idiot, so He<br />sent me."<br />__________________

Re: Marines and God

I wish this was true not a made up story!!! We would all be better off if things like this did happen once in a while.<br /><br />In reality if a marine would have done that back in the 60's HE would have gone to the brig, unbecoming a marine. I saw the inside of the brig once for protecting myself while in uniform on a Seattle, Wa. street. They expected me to walk away from the guy that spitted in my face. Never had any use for the protesters back in the 60's or the people that do not support the troops today!!<br /><br />That is all I have to say n that subjects.<br />Viet Nam 1963 to 1968

Re: Marines and God

The professor was an idiot for not respecting his student's sensitivities.<br />The marine was an even bigger idiot for presuming to understand and know what God wants.

Re: Marines and God

True story..<br />After I got out of the service I was taking some business classes at a small community college. Over half were vets on the GI bill. This was during the Iranian Hostage situation. In one of my classes there were a few Iranians.<br /><br />During one of the lectures this one towel head stood up in class during a debate and was saying we got what we deserved and hoped harm would come to them<br /><br />This one class had about five Vietnam vets in it. After a few minutes I got up and told him what I thought about his actions(calmly)lol. we were on the second floor and it was a warm spring day and the window was open. After a couple more minutes of listening to his tirades i told him to sit down or i would throw him out the window. Later my friends said he made a mention on my manhood(don't remember) <br /><br />I guess I grabbed him and proceeded to do a heave ho with him out the window. If it wasn't for a couple of vets who pulled me off him he would have. Well the professor got on me pretty bad for my actions. I Told him he would be next. Admin. called me into the office the next day and told me that I was no longer welcome at that college.<br /><br />To make it short here 150 vets walked out to. VA got involved and I was allowed to come back. When I came back,the Iranian was gone and so was the professor. For the rest of my time there, Iranians walked the other way when they saw me coming.

Sooooo gonefishn, did you violate his right to freedom of speech by exercising your freedom of expression; don't bother answering it doesn’t really matter any how. Should have kicked his sorry anti American a$$ all the way back to Iran.
