Military Laws

– Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you.
– No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy.
– Friendly fire ain’t.
– The most dangerous thing in the combat zone is an officer with a map.
– The problem with taking the easy way out is that the enemy has already had it mined.
– The buddy system is essential to your survival; it gives the enemy somejoke else to shoot at.
– Incoming fire has the right of way.
– If your advance is going well, you are walking into an ambush.
– If you really need an officer in a hurry, take a nap.
– The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.
– Don’t be conspicuous. In the combat zone, it draws fire. Out of the combat zone, it draws sergeants.
