Fourteen Rules for Staying Alive in Combat

1. Incoming fire always has the right of way
2. Keep it simple, stupid
3. Keeping it simple is the hardest thing in the world
4. Never stand next to anyone braver than you are
5. Never stand next to anyone stupider than you are
6. If things are gooing too well, its an ambush
7. The easiest way is mined
8. The one thing you never run out of is the enemy
9. Infrared works both ways
10. Professionals are always predictable
11. We always end up fighting amatuers
12. When the enemy is in range, so are you
13. When in doubt, shoot until the magazine is empty
14. Remember the other 13
