Friend of mine sent me this. It's called "Military Warnings". He said they are actual excerts from military instructions/manuals.<br /><br />Military Warnings<br /> <br /> <br />"Aim towards the Enemy."<br />> -Instruction printed on US Rocket Launcher<br /><br />"When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend."<br />> -US Marine Corps<br /><br />"Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground."<br />> - USAF Troop<br /><br />"If the enemy is in range, so are you."<br />> -Infantry Journal<br /><br />"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<br />your unit."<br />> -Army's magazine of preventive maintenance.<br /><br />"It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed."<br />> -US Air Force Manual<br /><br />"Try to look unimportant; they may be low on ammo."<br />> -Infantry Journal<br /><br />"Tracers work both ways."<br />> -US Army Ordnance<br /><br />"Five-second fuses only last three seconds."<br />> -Infantry Journal<br /><br />"Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid."<br />> -Col. David Hackworth<br /><br />"If your attack is going too well, you're probably walking into an ambush."<br />> -Infantry Journal<br /><br />"No combat-ready unit has ever passed inspection."<br />> -Joe Gay<br /><br />"Any ship can be a minesweeper ... once."<br />> -Anon<br /><br />"Never tell the Platoon Sergeant you have nothing to do."<br />> -Unknown Marine Corps Recruit<br /><br />"Don't draw fire; it irritates the people around you."<br />> -Your Buddies<br /><br />"If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up with him."<br />> -USAF Ammo Troop
