Murphy's Military Laws |
Murphy's Military Laws:
1. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you are.
2. No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy.
3. Friendly fire isn't.
4. The most dangerous thing in the combat zone is an officer with a map.
5. The problem with taking the easy way out is that the enemy has already
mined it.
6. The buddy system is essential to survival; it gives the enemy somebody
else to shoot at.
7. The further you are in advance of your own positions, the more likely
your artillery will shoot short.
8. Incoming fire has the right of way.
9. If your advance is going well, you are walking into an ambush.
10. The quartermaster has only two sizes, too large and too small.
11. If you really need an officer in a hurry, take a nap.
12. The only time suppressive fire works is when it is used on abandoned
positions.
13. The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming
friendly fire.
14. There is nothing more satisfying than having someone take a shot at you,
and miss.
15. Don't be conspicuous. In the combat zone, it draws fire. Out of the
combat zone, it draws sergeants.
16. If your sergeant can see you, so can the enemy.
