One of my friend's brother is flying helos with the Corps. overthere right now and she found this to be rather similiar to something her brother would probably do / say. Hope it's not a repeat
Anchors Dan Rather and Peter Jennings, NPR Reporter Cokie Roberts, along
with a U.S. Marine assigned to protect them were hiking through the Iraq
desert one day when they were captured by Iraqis.They were tied up, led to a village, and brought before the leader.
The leader said, "I am familiar with your western custom of granting the
condemned a last wish; so, before we kill and dismember you, do you have anylast requests?"
Dan Rather said, "Well, I'm a Texan; so I'd like one last bowlful 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 a$$," said the Marine.
"What?" asked the leader. "Will you mock us in your last hour?"
"No, I'm not kidding. I want you to kick me in the a$$," insisted the Marine.
So the leader shoved him into the open, and kicked him in the a$$.
The Marine went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9mm pistol from
inside his cammies, and shot the leader dead. In the resulting confusion, he
leapt to his knapsack, pulled out his M4 carbine, and sprayed the Iraqis
with gunfire. In a flash, all the Iraqis were either dead or fleeing for
their lives.
As the Marine was untying Rather, Jennings, and Roberts, they asked him,
"Why didn't you just shoot them? Why did you ask them to kick you in the
a$$?"
"What," replied the Marine, "and have you three a$$holes call me the
aggressor?"
