US Army Laws of Combat: The Short List
--------------------------------------
1. If the enemy is in range, so are you.
2. Smart bombs have bad days too.
3. You cannot trust you're leadership.
4. Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at.
5. The complexity of a weapon is inversely proportional to the IQ of the weapon's operator.
6. If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.
7. Density of fire increases proportionally to the curiousness of the target.
8. If you're short of everything but the enemy, you're in a combat zone.
9. If your ambush is properly set, the enemy won't walk into it.
10. A Purple Heart just proves that were you smart enough to think of a plan, stupid enough to try it, and lucky enough to survive.
