A United States Marine

dont know if this happen or not but it sounded good



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 an avowed 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 troops who are protecting your right to say stupid sNit and act like an A hole . So, He sent me."

    Most likely not true. I'v heard it in several variations. But having a USMC brother who has served Irag and Tbilisi, Georgia, I like it.

    true in WWII and the COld War... but what would Saddam do to our rights???
    anyone they could send at us would get defeated by a dozen cops and a "battalion" of the backwoods militia


    I am honestly more threatened by my own government, you know the priques who increase surveillance against US citizens (especially folks like the Minutemen) while letting us get overrun by an invasion from the south!
