Not sure if this was TRUELY a Navy Seal....was thinking it was probably a FIREMAN, but I didn't change any words in it.......Either way, still a good little story.....
Excellent story ....
Navy SEALs are always taught
1) Keep your priorities in order and
2) Know when to act without hesitation.
A Navy SEAL 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 he shocked the class when
he came in, 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 SEAL 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 SEAL 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 SEAL and asked, "What the hell is the matter with
you? Why did you do that?"
The SEAL calmly replied, "God was too busy today protecting America's
soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid shit and act like an
asshole. So He sent me."
