"No plan has ever survived the first contact, intact."

"The feint you're ignoring is the main attack."

"Items that MUST be used together in combat are NEVER shipped together."

"If you're short of everything except enemy soldiers, you're in combat."

"The important things are always simple. The simple things are always hard. The easy way is always mined."

I always liked the claymores.

\"This side towards enemy\"

I wonder how many were placed backwards? I almost always put these out in the dark. The curve of it gave it away if you ask me.

That one about fuses is definitely true.

Of course most of the Army PM stuff was in comic book form when I was in.

He really said that.
