Specter 0 Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I’ve seem most of these in the past labeled “Murphy’s Rules of Warfare”. So I make no claim of verification for the various attributions. All I know is that they’re darned funny and true. - SOTOPhantm MILITARY WARNING LABELS "Aim towards the Enemy." -Instruction printed on US Rocket Launcher "When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend." -U..S. Marine Corps "Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground." -U.S.A.F. Ammo Troop "If the enemy is in range, so are you." -Infantry Journal "A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your unit." -Army's magazine of preventive maintenance "It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed." -U.S. Air Force Manual "Try to look unimportant; they may be low on ammo." -Infantry Journal "Tracers work both ways." -U.S. Army Ordnance "Five-second fuses only last three seconds." -Infantry Journal "Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid." -David Hackworth, Col, USA (Ret) "If your attack is going too well, you're walking into an ambush." -Infantry Journal "No combat-ready unit has ever passed inspection." -Joe Gay "Any ship can be a minesweeper... once." -Anon "Never tell the Platoon Sergeant you have nothing to do." -Unknown Marine Recruit "Don't draw fire; it irritates the people around you." -Your Buddies "If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up with him." -U.S.A.F. Ammo Troop Quote Link to post Share on other sites
