#1 Mister Grenade can be your friend

I will have to clear out my glove compartment and get the Grenade Triad. Might help in traffic....

#2 I think the Marines have found that dead people can hurt you. However, unrecognizable masses of organic matter are less likely to hurt anyone, except for the smell.

#4 If you are in a firefight and you wound one of the enemy, donât let him crawl or limp away to safety. Kill him. These guys are doing holy war and will keep shooting even if wounded. They cannot hurt you if they are dead.

Print this out, and distribute this to all U.S service personnel. It bears repeating over and over again.

#5 I was hoping the Army had learned somethings from Viet Nam...guess not.

When I was in-country and near an Army support base, following a nasty night-time assualt on the Army position which resulted in several KIA/WIA, the Army commander approached our Marine unit (a force logistic support group) and asked if we would provide several Sergeants to lead Army squads made up of Army remington-raiders, cooks bakers and supply clerks.

Lucky for the Army, the Marine NCO's could talk both combat shoot, move and communicate, and typing, food service and bullets, beans and band-aids.
