Murphy's Laws of Combat

* You are not Superman.
* Recoilless rifles aren't.
* Suppressive fire won't.
* If it's stupid, but works, it's not stupid.
* Don't look conspicuous. It draws fire.
* Never draw fire. It makes everyone around you nervous.
* When in doubt, empty the magazine.
* Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you.
* Always keep in mind that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.
* If your attack is going well, it's an ambush.
* If you can't remember . . . the claymore is probably pointed at you.
* All five second grenade fuses are three seconds.
* Try to look unimportant. The enemy may be low on ammo.
* If you are forward of your position the artillery will be short.
* The enemy diversion you're ignoring is the main attack.
* The easy way is always mined.
* The important things are always simple.
* The simple things are always hard.
* When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy.
* Incoming fire has the right of way.
* No combat ready unit has ever passed inspection.
* No inspection ready unit has ever passed combat.
* Teamwork is essential. It gives the enemy other people to shoot at.
* If the enemy is in range, so are you.
* Friendly fire isn't.
* Anything you can 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.
* Radios will fail as soon as you need something desperately.
* When both sides are convinced they are about to lose . . . they are both right.
* Professionals are predictable, but the world is full of amateurs.
* All weather close support doesn't work in bad weather.
* The bursting radius of a grenade is always one foot greater than your jumping range.
* The only terrain that is truly controlled is the terrain upon which you're standing.
* The law of the bayonet says the man with the bullet wins.
* REMFs are everywhere.
* The best tank killer is another tank. Therefore tanks are always fighting each other . . . and have no time to help the infantry.
* Remembr, your weapnos and equipment were made by the lowest bidder
* Precision bombing is normally accurate within plus/minus one mile.
* Cluster bombing from B-52s and C-130s is very, very accurate. They always hit the ground.
* Perfect plans aren't.
* The easy way generally gets you killed.
* The side with the fanciest uniforms losses.
* Armored vehicles are bullet magnets; a moving foxhole that attracts attention.
* If you are short of everything except enemy, you're in combat.
* No plan survives the first few seconds of combat.
* Ammo is cheap; your life isn't.
* It's easier to expend material in combat than to fill out the forms for Graves Registration.
* If you can't see the enemy, they still may be able to see you.
* Final protective fire doesn't.
* You can win without fighting, but it's a lot tougher to do. And the enemy may not cooperate.
