Murpy's Laws of Combat Operations
- Incoming fire has right of way.
- If the enemy is in range then so are you.
- Don't look conspicuous - it draws fire.
- If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid.
- When in doubt - empty your magazine.
- The easy way is always mined.
- Try to look unimportant- they may be low on ammo.
- Teamwork is essential - it gives them somebody else to shoot at.
- Never draw fire - it irritates everyone around you.
- Anything you do can get you shot, including doing nothing.
- Never share a foxhole with someone braver than you.
- If your attack is going really well, it's an ambush.
- No battle plan survives contact with the enemy.
- Remember, all your equipment including your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.
- The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.
- When you have secured the area don't forget to tell the enemy.
- Make it tough enough for the enemy to get in and you won't be able to get out.
- If you're short on anything but the enemy - you're in a combat zone.
- The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions
- when you're ready and
- when you're not.
- A sucking chest wound is nature's way of telling you to slow down.
