Military Rules
Subject: Military Rules

Marine Corps Rules:

1. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
2. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.
3. Have a plan.
4. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won't work.
5. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a "4."
7. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
8. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend.
(Lateral & diagonal preferred.)
9. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
10. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
12. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber,
stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
13. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating your
intention to shoot.

RE: Military Rules
I remember years ago, sitting around with a bunch of other junior officers, bitching about the XO, and somebody observed, "Have you ever noticed, if it's a movie about the army, it's Audie Murphy killing Germans; if it's a movie about the marines, it's John Wayne hitting the beach; if it's a movie about the air force, it's Robert Mitchum flyling bombers; but if it's a move about the navy, it's all the junior officers sitting around bitching about the XO?"
