MURPHY'S LAWS OF COMBAT
· You are not supermen. (Freshly graduated recruits from the Marines & Para’s and all fighter pilots, especially take note.)
· Suppressive fire - won't
· If it's stupid but works, it isn't stupid.
· Don't look conspicuous - it draws fire. (For this reason aircraft carriers have been dubbed bomb magnets.)
· When in doubt, empty the magazine.
· Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you.
· Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.
· If your attack is going really well, it's an ambush.
· No plan survives the first contact intact.
· All five second grenade fuses will burn down in three seconds.
· Try to look unimportant, because the bad guys may be low on ammo.
· If you are forward of your position, the artillery will fall short.
· When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy.
· Incoming fire has the right-of-way.
· The enemy diversion you are ignoring is the main attack.
· The important things are always simple.
· The simple things are always hard.
· The easy way is always mined.
· If you are short of everything except enemy, you are in combat.
· No combat ready unit has ever passed inspection.
· No inspection-ready unit has ever passed combat.
· If the enemy is in range, SO ARE YOU!
· Beer math is - 2 beers times 37 men equals 74 cases.
· Body-count math is - 3 guerrillas plus 1 probable plus 2 pigs equals 37 enemy killed in action.
· Friendly fire - isn't.
· Things that must be together to work usually won’t be shipped together.
· Radios will fail as soon as you need fire support desperately.
· Radar tends to fail at night and in bad weather, and especially during both.
· Anything you do can get you shot - including doing nothing.
· Make it too tough for the enemy to get in - and you can't get out.
· Tracers work BOTH ways.
· The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.
· If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will have more than your fair share to take.
· When both sides are convinced they are about to lose, they are both right.
· The side with the simplest uniforms wins.
· Professional soldiers are predictable, your enemy will be amateurs.
