Not wanting to start a war or arguement, but this is one the U.S. Forces find difficult to remember. They seem to do quite a lot of FRIENDLY FIRE.

Maybe it should read like this "Aim towards the Enemy - No not the ones on our side - The ones that are firing at us", just a thought.:brag:

I'm glad you see the funny side, you being an American and all.:0:

It's amazing to think all those are genuine.

My favourites are.

“If your attack is going too well, you’re walking into an ambush.” - Infantry Journal
“If the enemy is in range, so are you.” - Infantry Journal
“Tracers work both ways.” - U.S. Army Ordnance

They crack me up.

If they put that on a rocket launcher, what do they put on knives
"Always point away from yourself" :D
