Yesterday was my birthday and I thought I'd pass on something my brother sent me in his congraulatory e-mail. Enjoy[8D]

<center>MILITARY WORDS OF WISDOM</center>

"The Journey of A Thousand Miles Begins with One Step, and A Lot of Bitching"

"AIM TOWARDS THE ENEMY." - Instruction printed on US Army Rocket Launcher

"WHEN THE PIN ISPULLED, MR. GRENADE IS NOT OUR FRIEND." - US Marine Corps

"CLUSTER BOMBINGFROM B-52s IS VERY, VERY ACCURATE. THE BOMBS ARE GUARANTEED TO ALWAYS HIT THEGROUND."

"IF THE ENEMY IS IN RANGE, SO ARE YOU."

"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."

"IT IS GENERALLY INADVISABLE TO EJECT DIRECTLY OVER THE AREA YOU'VE JUST BOMBED."

"TRY TO LOOK UNIMPORTANT; THE ENEMY MAY BE LOW ON AMMO."

"TRACERS WORK BOTH WAYS."

"FIVE-SECOND FUSESONLY LAST THREE SECONDS."

"BRAVERY IS BEING THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS YOU'RE AFRAID."

"IF YOUR ATTACK ISGOING TOO WELL, YOU'RE WALKING INTO AN AMBUSH."

Took me some time to find it, but here's a quote from Monty that I always found amusing.

"The U.S. has broken the second rule of war. That is, don't go fighting with your land army on the mainland of Asia. Rule One is don't march on Moscow. I developed these two rules myself."

The genuius of the man. [;)]
