Semper Fi (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Jigawhat]

Dan Rather, Katie Couric, and a tough Marine Sergeant were all captured by
> terrorists in Iraq. The leader of the terrorists told them that he would
> grant them each one last request before they were beheaded .
>
> 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."
>
> Katie Couric 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 Couric
> dictated some comments. She then said, "Now I can die happy."
>
> The leader turned and said, "And now, Mr. Marine tough guy, what is
> your final wish?"
>
> "Kick me in the ass," 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 ass,"
> insisted the Sergeant.
>
> So the leader shoved him into the open, and kicked him in the ass.
>
> The Marine went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9 mm
> pistol from under his flack jacket, and shot the leader dead. In the
> resulting confusion, he jumped 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 Sergeant was untying Rather and Couric, they asked him, "Why
> didn't you just shoot them in the beginning? Why did you ask them to kick you
> in the ass first?"
>
> What," replied the Marine, "and have you two *******s report that I
> was the aggressor?
