A United States 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 a vowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.
One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He
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 sh!t and act like an a$$hole. So, He sent me."

And All God People Said AMEN

OOOH RAH for the Marine Corps. Sometimes that the way I feel about stupid people. You have the right not to sign up and help protect this country. But don't do or say stuid s**t without expecting an answer like that.

Thanks to all that have helped served and to the ones that have help support the ones serving.

Yep, this story is making the rounds in my part of the country as a Navy SEAL instead of a Marine.

I doubt its true, but i whish it was.
More people need to get knocked out for saying stupid s***.

SoupOrMan · 01-19-2007, 04:30 PM

Yeah, it would be nice sometimes.

Ajcrash · 01-19-2007, 04:44 PM

According to snopes it's false. Great story though. I sure did like the thought of it being true.

While looking into it I also found another one of my favorites is also false:

While interviewing an anonymous United States Marine Scout/Sniper on his sniper skills a Reuters News agent asked him what he felt when shooting members of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan.

The Marine shrugged and replied, "Recoil."

Like Sam Kinison said in the movie Back to School ... "Good answer, good answer"
