Rules of Combat


MARINE CORPS

* Bring a weapon. Preferably, bring at least two.

* Bring all of your friends who have weapons.

* Bring their friends who have weapons.

* Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.

* Only hits count. Close doesn't count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

* If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough, nor using cover correctly.

* Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)

* If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a big weapon and a friend with a big weapon.

* If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.

* Someday someone may kill you with your own weapon, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

* In combat, there are no rules, always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

* Have a plan. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.

* Use cover or concealment as much as possible.

* The visible target should be in FRONT of YOUR weapon.

* Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

* The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

* Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

* Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation. * Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun the caliber of which does not start with a .4."



ARMY

* See USMC rules.

* Hope the Marines already destroyed all meaningful resistance.



NAVY

* Spend three weeks getting somewhere.

* Adopt an aggressive offshore posture.

* Send in the Marines.

* Drink Coffee.

* Bring back the Marines.



AIR FORCE

* Kiss the spouse good-bye.

* Drive to the flight line.

* Fly to target area.

* Drop bombs and fly back.

* Pop in at the club for a couple of drinks with the guys.
