1. Incoming fire has right of way.

2. If the enemy is in range then so are you.

3. Don't look conspicuous - it draws fire.

4. If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid.

5. When in doubt - empty your magazine.

6. The easy way is always mined.

7. Try to look unimportant - they may be low on ammo.

8. Teamwork is essential - it gives them somebody else to shoot at.

9. Never draw fire - it irritates everyone around you.

10. Anything you do can get you shot, including doing nothing.

11. Never share a weapon pit with someone braver then you.

12. If your attack is going really well it's an ambush.

13. No battle plan survives contact with the enemy.

14. The lowest bidder made your weapon.

15. The only thing more accurate then enemy incoming fire is friendly incoming fire.

16. When you have secured the area don't forget to tell the enemy.

17. Make it tough enough for the enemy to get in and you won’t be able to get out.

18. If you’re short on anything but the enemy - you’re in a combat zone.

19. The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions - when you’re ready and when you’re not.

20. A sucking chest wound means your cam and concealment was ineffective.

21. Rigor Mortis is nature’s way of telling you to slow down.

I remembered seeing Geezers comment (see #13) under his name here hehe. I think Shwarzkopf also said it.
