Field experience is something you never get until just after you need it.

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

Never stand when you can sit, never sit when you can lie down, never stay awake when you can sleep

The weight of all of your equipment is proportional to the cube of the time you have been carrying it.

If your sergeant can see you, so can the enemy.

A Purple Heart just proves that were you smart enough to think of a plan, stupid enough to try it, and lucky enough to survive.

Mines are equal opportunity weapons.

All five-second grenade fuses will burn down in three seconds.

No plan survives first contact intact.

Any order that can be misunderstood has been misunderstood.

Smart bombs have bad days too.

Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't.

The complexity of a weapon is inversely proportional to the IQ of the weapon's operator.

The enemy never monitors your radio frequency until you broadcast on an unsecured channel.
