MURHPY'S LAWS OF COMBAT

If the enemy is in range, so are you.

Incoming fire has the right of way.

Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire.

There is always a way.

The easy way is always mined.

Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.

Professionals are predictable, it's the amateurs that are dangerous.

The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions:

when you're ready for them.

when you're not ready for them.

Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at.

If you can't remember, then the claymore is pointed at you.

The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the main attack.

A "sucking chest wound" is nature's way of telling you to slow down.

If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.

Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you.

Anything you do can get you shot, including nothing.

Make it tough enough for the enemy to get in and you won't be able to get out.

Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.

If you're short of everything but the enemy, you're in a combat zone.

When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy.

Never forget that your weapon is made by the lowest bidder.

I seem to remember there were a few more of "Murphy's Laws of Combat"

Two that I found particularly accurate were:

"The only thing more accurate than incomming enemy fire is incomming 'friendly' fire."

"Friendly fire, isn't."

Also, there was the one about "tracer rounds":

"Never forget that tracers work in both directions."

Some more

FUBAR AND SNAFU still are still active.

Never join an outfit where the commander is named Custer.

Watch were you are walking.

Remember when step on something that goes click, do not step off without help.

Put the latrine downstream. It makes the morning coffee taste better.
