MURPHY'S LAWS OF COMBAT
If your sergeant can see you, so can the enemy.
If the enemy is within range, so are you.
Incoming fire always has the right of way.
What can be seen can be hit, what can be hit can be killed.
There is no such thing as an atheist in a firefight.
Friendly fire -- isn't.
Recoilless rifles -- aren't.
Suppressive fires -- don't.
Interchangeable parts -- aren't. -
The best way is never the easy way.
The easy way is always mined.
No combat ready unit has ever passed inspection.
There is no such thing as a perfect plan.
Sniper's motto: "Reach out and touch someone."
Sniper's philosophy: "If you run, you'll only die tired."
You are not Superman (Marines and fighter pilots take note).
Professionals are predictable, it's the amateurs that are dangerous.
The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions:
a. when you're ready for them.
b. when you're not ready for them.
Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you. -
The buddy system is essential to your survival -- it gives the enemy someone else to shoot at.
Never share a fighting position with anyone braver than yourself
Anything you do can get you shot, including doing nothing.
If you can't remember, then the Claymore is pointed at you.
The enemy diversion you have been ignoring is the main attack.
If your advance is going really well, you are walking into an ambush.
When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy.
If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid.
If at first you don't succeed, call in an airstrike.
When in doubt, empty your magazine. -
No matter which way you have to march, it's always uphill.
Tracers work both ways.
The bursting radius of a hand grenade is always one foot greater than the distance you can jump.
Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.
Military intelligence is a contradiction of terms.
Peace is our profession -- mass murder's just a hobby.
If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you may have misjudged the situation.
Whenever you lose contact with the enemy, look behind you.
The quartermaster has only two sizes, too large and too small. -

If the enemy is within range, so are you. -
